Sassy Cheryl's Ladybug Magnet


Happy Saturday, I hope you are enjoying your 4th of July weekend!

I live in a small resort town on the Colorado River in western Arizona so we have lots of people visiting our town from all over.  Our family will spend the long weekend celebrating my husband and my birthday's and wedding anniversary as well as the 4th of July.  We just pretend the fireworks are for us!

I have a fun card to share with you today that I made with a Sassy Cheryl's digital image called Ladybug Magnet.  I thought this little boy was so cute and I love ladybugs so of course I had to have it.

I used my friend Dana's Copic background technique for my grass and clouds and colored with Copic markers R29, R27, R24, R22, R20, E43, E42, E41, E00, E000, YR00, B99, B97, B95, B93, B91, BG0000, YG67, YG63, YG61, YR68, YR65, YR61.  To repeat the dots on the ladybugs I used Papertrey Ink's Polka Dot Basics clear stamp set on the red panel and my sentiment came from Create With TLC and was cut out with a Spellbinders Tags Trio die and matted with a scrap of black cardstock that I used my 1/8" Corner Chomper on - great tool!  I added a button with a little crochet thread tied in a bow as a finishing touch. 

Happy 4th of July weekend and thanks for visiting my blog today!

    I love this card! I really admire your coloring, it's fabulous! Hummm, wondering where in Arizona you are. I used to live in Sierra Vista and Gilbert/Mesa. My parents still live in Gilbert. I miss Arizona ALOT, just not the 115 degree temps in the summer...or the dry heat at they call it =)
