You should have come from JoAnn Ross's blog. If you are starting here, don't worry, just keep going and you will eventually get back to me.
This adorable stamp is from Penny Black. I colored with Copics, but you'll notice I was not worried about blending on the hair. I just flicked color from three different brown markers to give it dimension.
The ladybug was supposed to have white space left when I finished coloring, but it all sort of blended together, so I went back in with a white gel pen to add the white highlights. The shiny shell was created with Liquid Glass.
The sentiment tag is actually a ticket (cut with CTMH Art Philosophy Cricut cartridge) which I tucked under the main panel. I'm not sure where the "hello..." sentiment is from.
Brown ribbon from CTMH and background embossing folder from Stampin' Up.
Now you're off to Patricia's blog. Remember to keep going until you come full circle so you don't miss a single cute critter.
If you would like to win this card (and just maybe a couple others featured recently), please become a follower and leave me a comment below that you either became a follower or already are one.
