Oh my goodness, major excitement, today's the day that the Ladybugs have been eagerly waiting for. Not only is it time for a new challenge with the theme "Spring Is In The Air" but it's also time for the New Release Blog Hop! The Ladybugs have only seen their own digi image and as there are 9 to be seen altogether we have been eagerly waiting to see what the rest of the team have been given to work with.
if you haven't you need to go back to the challenge blog and start at the beginning.I just love my image
"Garden Bench Delight"
so much so that I almost didn't add a sentiment and was considering hanging it in my crafty cabin. I decided to make a "Frame Card" to really show it off and printed off sections of the digi in addition which I layered up on the outside of the frame, also flipping the image vertically for some of the pots .
The little signs were easily created to place in and around the pots. I just wrote the greeting,drew around them with a fine liner and added the stick, a few dots at the bottom to echo those in the digi and a bit of distress ink to dirty them up.
The bunting I hand cut in spring coloured paper remnants, adding hand drawn stitches. Can't you just picture this gorgeous image with another image sat on it, I know I've got loads of stamps amongst my collection that are just crying out for a nice spot to sit. My first though, is going to be my cheeky chap Magnum!
The next stop on the hop is the "Lovely Lisa's blog" but before you head on over, the letter that you need to help you solve the puzzle is "U" The new Digis are available here from today at £1.75 per image or the Whole Shebang £13 saving £2.75 I'll race you there lol!
I'm using this card for the following challenges:-
Bunny Zoe's 21, Celebration,
DMC23, Cropped digi image,
Karen's Doodles 98, Celebrate,
MIM76, Anything goes,
Paper Pretties, Use flowers,
Stampalot February, In the garden.
Thanks for stopping by on this exciting Tuesday,
