Ladybug Hugs!

Bugaboo Stamps og ScrappyDew har sponset utfordring #125. hos Creative Fingers, og jeg har vært så heldig å få denne søte marihøne-familien fra Bugaboo ♥ Du er hjertelig velkommen til å delta. Det er alltid 'Lag-hva-du-vil' som tema! :)

Nå som sola er tilbake så passer det vel å ta frem de varme fargene igjen (selv om det fremdeles er iskaldt her nord).. Sola er 'drodlet' på arket med glossy accents, og gir både en morsom bakgrunn for motivet, tekstur og en lur måte å lime den detaljerte diesen fast med!

For this fortnights challenge #125 at Creative Fingers, we have two lovely sponsors, Bugaboo Stamps and ScrappyDew!
I have been so lucky to get this cute ladybug family from Bugaboo to ink up as my DT project ♥ The challenge is as always themed Anything Goes, and you are most welcome to join in! :)  

Now that the sun has made a return here in the northern parts of Norway, (still freezing though) it's time to pull out warm colors for my card. The funky sun is actually glossy accents, and it gives texture and an easy way to adhere the intricate diecut. Ladybug noses & antennas plus some hearts have also gotten glossy on them, while the text has been heat embossed. Finished it off with a spray of mica. LOVE adding shine to my cards!
