Love Bug!

Hey girls! So sitting in bed here late tonight typing up my blog post for you all to read, some of you when you wake in the morning and for others that have just woken and can read over there first cup of tea or coffee.

I wanted to create a card using the Hero Arts, Going stamp set, but felt like most people when first viewing this stamp set, that the stamps were more of a male feel. so I have opted to turn one of these stamps into a more girlie feel card.



I started by stamping the Cling Dots background stamp that was inked with Colorbox Ink, Frost White onto the front of a trimmed Kraft card stock card, setting aside to dry. Next, taking the Going stamp set and the sweet little bug car, I stamped the car onto some My Minds Eye, Fine and Dandy patterned paper, trimming around the card, whilst the stamp was out, I also re stamped it onto some white card stock, this time only trimming the windows out of the car, adhering each to the patterned paper car. Taking more of the patterned paper, I stamped the flags from the Friendly Flags stamp set, trimming around the stamped images. Taking the card once again, I assembled the flags to the top of the card using foam dimensionals, adding white twine that were tied in bows and adhered with Glossy Accents either side of the flags. I stamped a sentiment from an old set of stamps that I have in my collection, found that the sentiment was rather fitting for the card. Lastly, I adhered the car to the card using more foam dimensionals and more Glossy Accents was added over the windows.

Sorry for the not so great photography on this one, it was late tonight when I took the photo and after a long day at work to boot.

I hope that you enjoy this card and find a little bit of inspiration to create something that makes you smile today.

Before I leave you and lay my head down for the evening, I just want to take another opportunity to thank everyone that passes through my blog and leaves such sweet, wonderful and encouraging comments, it is so nice to wake every morning to read your lovely comments. It means a lot that you take the time to do so and knowing I get to read these comments, it spurs me on to create more. I hope that my creations do inspire you all, thank you so much.

Have a great day!

Hugs
