Totally Ladybug Tuesday

Hello everyone!  Today is Totally Ladybug Tuesday and it's a big day over at the  Ladybug Crafts Ink TLT Challenge Blog.  Not only is it our very FIRST challenge, but Kerry also has a release of new stamps and we are having a Blog Hop to celebrate!  There are five new stamps and the DT used them this week for the challenge.  I used Mistletoe Nikki and Ben for my card.  Isn't this the sweetest image?

Mary J chose the challenge this week and she chose a sketch, with a twist...she also asked that we decorate the inside of our card.  Mary J always decorates the inside of her cards and believe me, they are always gorgeous! 


I colored my image with Prismacolor pencils and gamsol.  I added some stickles to the berries and to the flower on Nikki's hat.  I punched out some snowflakes and covered them with Glamour Dust.  I used a Martha Stewart edge punch and added some cream ribbon. .


Here's how I decorated the inside of my card:


As you follow along in the Blog Hop, you'll get to see what the Ladybugs created with the other beautiful new stamps.  You should have arrived at my blog from Caz's blog.  If not, go back and start at the Ladybug Crafts Ink TLT Challenge Blog.

Here are the rules of the Blog Hop:
-  Visit each of the DT members and leave a comment on each of their blogs
-  Leave a comment on The Ladybug Crafts Ink TLT Challenge Blog, telling us which of the images is your favorite
-  Display the Blog Hop banner on your blog, either in a post or on your sidebar (the banner is at the top of my sidebar)

The Blog Hop closes at 9 am GMT on Monday, November 8, 2010.  The winner will be announced at 9 am GMT on Tuesday, November 9, 2010.  Next, you will want to visit Kerry's blog.

  10. Oh my goodness Anita!!! Take a look at the colours on my card and compare our Nikkis!!!!! Spooooooooky ;)
    And you even used stickles on exactly the same places that I used stickles! (Have we been hacking each other's photos lol!?) Ben isn't quite the same though, if I'd have flipped the colours of his jacket/trousers though....
    Brilliant card and love the papers...
