Bug hugs

     I don't think I've even seen any of these little bugs this year or too many others for that matter.  I think it's even too hot for the bugs!  ;-)
     This little sweetie is "Little Ladybug" from Mabelle R.O. at Whimsy and Stars Studio.  I've colored her with Copics and added a little Stickles on her spots, Fairy Dust paint to her flower and some highlights with a white gel pen.
     Don't forget that Mabelle has a new rubber release coming up at The Craft's Meow on the 21st and be on the look out next week for some new digis.  All the info will be posted on the Whimsy and Star Studio blog.
     Our recipe challenge over at the Catered Crop this week is "Ruffles" so I added some ruched ribbons across the center of the card.  Make sure you pop in Sunday to see what the rest of the team has to share for inspiration.
     I'd like to enter this card into the following challenges:

Darling little buggy boo card, GF! So cute! I have seen a few of these delightful ladybugs in our yard but now that it's hotter than Hades out here they're probably going to hide out for awhile. I don't blame them one bit....:) Me & the Heat are not on speaking terms. LOL UGH UGH UGH
Have a FABulous week.
Huggies ~

Hope you're having a great weekend. I'm locked inside..it's TOO stinkin' hot out. But I might venture out if I saw a little ladybug this cute. :)

Nancy said...

Too cute! It used to be that I would NEVER kill a ladybug...EVER! However, this past spring they completely took over my sunroom! It was like something out of those creepy movies I don't watch. I'm afraid I had to do away with them...many of them. I felt very bad. I don't feel bad when I do away with other bugs! :o(
Your card is a happy card though! :o)

Rene said...

P.S. Pop by my blog tomorrow evening...I have a surprise for you! ;D
