Hi everyone, another sweltering day predicted, I think I almost melted yesterday it was so humid which I really don't like, hope you're all surviving if your weather is the same. A card today for 2 Sketches 4 You and a great sketch by Laura which I really enjoyed. As usual if I don't print out the sketch and try to do it from memory I usually get it wrong and in this case I've realised afterwards that I should have had a scallop edged strip and mine is plain! Hopefully it'll be ok.I've stamped a BasicGrey ladybird from the dragonfly set by inking with distress ink directly onto the stamp with a brush and then going over it a bit afterwards, it's also been glittered with Stickles. After the stamping I embossed a frame around it using a square nestie and mounted mustard bazzil bling and black bazzil card. These layers were repeated adding some lovely red spotted paper from BG June Bug collection. The sentiment is from an Elzybells set and I've added a paper bow made from more of the June Bug paper. Everything is layered onto a white Papermania card blank and the image panel is raised with dimension tape. TFL. Chris x

Well your scallops around your card make up for it I think!! (LOL) Adorable card Chris!!! Love the colors and your ladybug is fabulous!! Brilliant paper ribbon as well!! It all blends so nicely!!
I hope you had a fun time in NY! Do you know that I live just under 2 hours away from there in PA!! I could have stopped by to say hello ~ that would have been so cool!!
