Hello!
Today is a special day over at Ladybug Towers as it's head Ladybug Kerry's birthday today, and I made a card for her, although fingers crossed it has made it from bottom right of the UK to Scotland OK though the snow and high winds we have had over the last couple of days. So sorry if it hasn't :-?
This is similar to tag cards I have done in the past, but this one is different images all over! I have to say though I really do like distressing with ink pads these days, it is SO calming!! And it really helps when you love all the stamps you are working with - links should be below if I've done it all correctly!
I used some of my new Stampendous Eiffel Tower stamps that I got at the Scrapbook Sisters Crop along with various Bo Bunny and Crafty Individuals stamps. Various bits were embossed before I got busy with distress inks and then overstamped the background with more stamps.
Nikki was coloured with copics, glittered up and cut out, and popped onto some wired ribbon and lace.
I've been wanting to do a flower like this for ages but not been able to get it right. I figured out that I was not using enough layers!! An old book had started to fall apart so helped it on it's way and cut 18 flowers out and spritzed them with assorted Tattered Angels mists and layered them up with a Making Memories brad from my stash. I also spritzed some seam binding with the same mists - I'm getting to grips with my mists again and it is great for using to colour up plain seam binding which is SO versatile!!
So as I say, fingers crossed it arrived on time !!
