I love my Ladybird (Ladybug) Tilda



Good evening everyone and Happy Valentines day to you. I just had to use this gorgeous Tilda Stamp (which I never want to give away!) in the UK she is a Ladybird and in the USA a Ladybug - I don't care which though I love her. Gushing over now down to the nitty gritty.

I coloured her using my watercolour pencils then framed her with an offcut from a nestie label - done in black glitter card. She is also glittered - black glitter dots, crystal glitter around the hearts and red glitter for the ribbon. Yep, I do like glitter!!!! I have put some gem hearts on the frame and a Ladybird button - it just needed another embellishment!! Nearly forgot to say the ticket is a freebie from Miss Cutie Pie.

The ribbon at the side is black velvet then I have attached some flower beads on to red ribbon and put that over the black velvet ribbon - make sense?

I have used the sketch at Midnight Madness shown below - there was a choice of two.


Now for the epic journey around all the other challenges I am going to enter this card in!!!!!

The Pink Elephant - Valentine,

Creative Inspirations - Red and Black,

Tuesday Taggers - Love is all Around,

Everybody Art Challenge - Valentine,

La La Land Challenge - No DPs,

Rainbow Lady's Challenge - Have a Heart,

Tellen's Place - Use at least 5 hearts,

Phew finished finally, please let me know what you think.

Hugs
