Monday Fun Day: Cute as a Bug

Happy Monday Fun Day, friends!  I sure am glad there are three little girls next door who are all cute as bugs because it gave me a good reason to color this Bugaboo "Cute as a Bug Sign" digi.  It's one I've had for a while, but not yet colored, tsk tsk.  I'm making every effort to catch up with all these stamps, digis, dies, embossing folders... but then I went shopping and have received a few gifts, as well...  I believe I'm still gaining, though.  I have plenty to keep me busy!




Oh, my goodness, this was a fun card to make!  Printed on Neenah Classic Crest Solar White and colored with Copic markers.  Bright colors, polka dot paper.  Lots of grins and giggles!

The Ladybug Border is a Joy Crafts die.   I cut it in red, then left the die in place to use as a stencil for coloring all the black with a fine-tipped Sharpie.  I also brushed over the die with Wink of Stella, but it doesn't show in the photo.




Happiness!  I hope it gives you a smile.  Enjoy your day!

Your card definitely brought a smile to my face this morning. I love the ladybug border and the bright green pop of color on the front. It is such a vibrant card without being too much and I just know someone is going to love it!

Oh my goodness, this card is so adorable - I can see why it was so fun to colour. Your polka dot paper is so perfect with your image, along with the lady bug border. Love how you did the black dots and the glitter. Good to see you working through your pile of digi's. It's a good feeling to get them done. As I should talk, I have so many printed but seems lately so little time to devote to card making, but I keep pushing myself. Thanks for sharing this 'cute as a bug' card, it made me smile, just what I needed after a very long day at work. Have a great Monday!
