You're Cute as a Bug

Happy Wednesday Peeps!!!

Today's  card was made using the challenge at 

Fab Friday Challenges.

This time is a fun color challenge:

I wanted to use the new Little Ladybug stamp set and even tho there wasn't a traditional "ladybug" red in the color challenge, I thought a Merry Merlot ladybug would be cute.

 

I stamped and colored the ladybug and flower with Black Stazon on thick whisper white.

I colored with my Aqua Painter and ink pads.

I used Merry Merlot, Melon Mambo and just a touch of Pear Pizzazz.

I made a cool water colored splashed background for my flower and ladybug to sit on.

I used Bermuda Bay on watercolor paper and brushed on getting lighter as I went down the paper for a nice ombre effect.

I then splattered white drops over the dried Bermuda Bay and then dabbed off with a paper towel.

I die cut it out using the stitched rectangle dies and then also cut out a whisper white frame for it to sit in.

I added the flower and ladybug to this piece with dimensionals.

I then added this to my Coastal Cabana base with more dimensionals.

 

The sentiment is stamped  with Bermuda Bay ink and die cut using a stitched nested labels die.

I colored two epoxy hearts using a Melon Mambo Blend and added to the sentiment piece.

I finished ups with a few basic rhinestones and a whisper white twine bow.

Listed below are all the "ingredients" used to make this project.
