Hello there my sweet little ladybugs! How are you today?! I hope this week is going great for you. The sun is finally shining here – dang we have had a lot of rain! The sunshine feels good and I am in the mood for Springtime! The good thing about January is that things get back to normal and our usual routine… I kind of like that actually. Started a new Theology class, my meetups are going again…. It’s all good. The only thing is that I wish I had more time for crafting!! (So many projects, so little time!)
Today I’m part of the giant Instagram Hop for the PPP new release! Be sure to pop over to my Instagram page to leave a comment on my post for a chance to win a prize! Of course I’m sharing my card here too! I used products from the brand new Pretty Pink Posh January release. My Lucky card from the 5th was also part of this new release – it’s so good.
Today’s card features the brand new Ladybug Shaker Dies, the new Banner Greetings dies and stamps and the Lovely Ladybugs stamp set. I combined the new items with some of my older favs. Don’t you love how everything works together perfectly from every release? My finished card is a white A2 card base. I layered on black gingham and then two white panels (eyelets and then the XO plate)…. The focal point is of course that giant Ladybug!

Here’s the side view to show you all my layers! I die cut the XOXO plate and then trimmed it to fit inside the Eyelet Rectangle. It adds another layer and some visual interest while still being all white! I splattered on some black paint splatters too. The flowers are white with yellow ink blending and then Stickles on the yellow centers.

I felt like this little lady needed a bow of some sort! Ha! She is so perfect for Valentine’s Day with her heart spots and heart feelers. I dunno, a bow just seemed like a good idea! Red gingham for the win.

Here’s a close up of the paper layers. Also, you can see that I gently inked the edges of the black parts of the ladybug using white pigment ink and a sponge dauber. Then I added white gel pen accents!

I wanted some kind of floral element on this card so I chose these small daisies for a bit of a pop of a different color and more visual interest. I love that fresh green too!

I LOOOOOOVE the new Banner Greetings Dies! Like love love. I used the new Banners to stamp my sentiment and mounted it across the ladybug body. Everything is popped up with foam dots.
