Penned and Painted Pretties

So happy to finally be using this set of flowers and beautiful colors.  Plus, I just love the cute little ladybug.  You'll notice there are two of them... I only planned on one though.

Like I always tell my stampers, "there are no mistakes in stamping, only opportunities for embellishment".  So tonight I embellished!  Do you see the little ladybug that's flying away?  Well, just between us, I managed to stamp the little bug there by dropping the stamp.  Well, now, I couldn't just have a ladybug in the air without wings, so I stamped another one on a piece of scrap and carefully cut out just the body, then cut it in half to be wings.  Ta da!


Now, on to the details:

Base - Whisper White Thick - 8 1/2" x 5 1/2", scored and folded at 4 1/4"
Sweet Sugarplum - 5 1/4" x 4"
Whisper White Cardstock - 5" x 3 3/4"

Ink:  Memento Black, Peekaboo Peach, Sweet Sugarplum, Pear Pizzazz, Real Red


In stamping "behind" the flowers to place the stems and leaves, I stamped and fussy cut the large flower on a post-it note and covered up the flower so I could stamp the leaves.


Thank you for looking in today.  Happy Saturday!  ~ Donna

    1. Thank you Chris. You just never know where inspiration will strike, even if it comes when searching for a way to cover up an "oops" LOL
