Totally Ladybug Tuesday.

It's Tuesday and time for a new challenge at Ladybug Crafts Ink and the challenge this time,chosen by Kerry is to "Use your favourite stamp!"  not too tricky as I have to admit since becoming a Ladybug I have fallen a little bit in love with Jack,he is just so lovely to colour.  My problem was which of my Jacks to use????? I decided to go with my lovely "Dear Santa" stamp,you can never be too soon with adding to the Christmas card box can you lol!

Excuse the fact that there are 3 photos, each looking very similar but I found it hard to get a photo that explained exactly what it was that I'd done, I hope that you get the gist.



I used one of the square card blanks with the 3 scalloped sides,folded the front in half and added my lovely Jack to the middle of the front folded edge. I added gems to the punched snowflakes and brushed the edges of the papers from the  Dovecraft "Let It Snow" paperpack with a chalk eye.  I also cut around the image using offcuts from the papers as wallpaper.


I'm using my card for the following challenges:-
Stampfun 58,Christmas,
Woodware USA37,Anything goes,
Come And Get It,Anything goes,
Sweet Stampin,Christmas in July,
Crafty Catz 93,Christmas,
Fun With Shapes 88,Christmas,
Fussy And Fancy 42,Christmas.

Thanks for stopping by,

    Great card, Julie! Love how you've used a Z fold and I love the way you've mounted the image onto DP (looks like wallpaper! Don't know if that was your intention!?) Hugs Marie xx
