Ladybug Hugs

I just love ladybugs so when Deedee came up with this "Ladybug Hugs" set I just had to have it and start playing with it.   I kept it simple but did so something a little different for me.
What I did different was to print out the image and sentiment (both from the same set) directly onto patterned paper.  My printer is running low on some of the inks, so I did go over the lady bug with Copic Markers just to brighten it up a little.   The paper was in my stash so I'm unable to tell you who made it, sorry.  It is hard to see in the picture but I ran the red strip though the Big Shot with a Swiss Dot embossing folder and the punched edges on the black strip were made using a SU! border punch.  I think this card works well for either OWH or Cards For Hospitalized Kids and it went together so quickly that I will be making a bunch more of these.  Thanks so much for taking a peek here today, but it might serve you well to also take a peek over at Deedee's to  see some of the other newest sets she has available.  You won't be disappointed I promise.

  See you again soon.  Wishing you a ladybug kind of day.

  8. Oh Donna, this card is adorable!! I am so loving that cute ladybug. What a cute set and you are right, these cards would be good to have a few on hand. I've never printed on to pattern paper either, so might have to give that a try sometime. Hugs

  13. I have a thing for ladybugs (not in the house though) and this is so cute. Coupled with the dotty background paper, looks so cool.
