Totally Ladybug Tuesday

It's Tuesday and time for Challenge 32 at Ladybug Crafts Ink and my second week as Guest Designer. It's Tams' challenge this week and the theme is "Numbers"!
It's up to you how you use them but if you're stuck for ideas there's some great examples from the Design Team so why not check them out!  For my card I used Winestool Nicky,coloured her using Copics and  placed the image behind my "Nellie Snellen frame" die cut. If you look closely you can see what a lovely fancy aperture it cut from the pink DP, I just added some gems to each cut. I couldn't decide which ribbon to use so decided to use a selection of 5 different ones. The numbers and sentiment are also available from Ladybug Crafts. I just scattered a few gems onto the edge of my paper and glued them where they fell.

I'm hoping that you can see that I used glossy accents on the glass and some stickles on Nicki's eyelids.

I'm using this card for the following challenges:-

Creative Stamp Friends 27,Birthday,

Pollycraft 97,Ribbons and flowers,

Woodware USA31,Birthday,

Paper Sundaes 73,Girly girl,

I'm A Guest Ladybug

It's Tuesday and time for my first guest spot at Totally Ladybug Tuesday, yay!!!!  It's Pami's choice this week and it's a Male theme. Not too difficult what with Father's Day just around the corner.  I however made a birthday card using the cutest little chap ever,meet Hide and seek Jack! I have to tell you,I had so much fun colouring up this lovely image,especially the tree trunk,it just lends itself to getting so much dimension,I couldn't begin to tell you what colours I used but by the end of my colouring session I'd got most of my 80+ Copic collection strewn over the table!  I tried to show it through lots of photos but in the end gave up but I decoupaged Jack and the owl so they really stand out from the tree. The gorgeous papers are by My Mind's Eye "Out of the blue,Lime Twist 6x6 paperpack. I did lots of layering and added stickles around the edges and also added some Glossy accents to the Ladybug. Both Jack and the sentiments are by Ladybug Crafts Ink

I'm using this card for the following challenges:-

CI Paints, Male,

Dream Valley 8, Stamp something,

Catch The Bug June, Anything goes,
