Ladybug Painting

Well, I did it.  I bought a ticket to Boston last night for July 30.  But I'm not telling my mom, so keep it on the downlow.  LOL  I will be coming back with Cass on August 13, so it'll be a 2 week visit.  I really hope I can help while I'm there.  My sister and I have birthdays 3 days apart the first week in August, so I'm excited that I'll get to be there for that.  Last year, that was one of the only weeks that I felt truly homesick so I know it will help being home with my sister this year.  I'm looking forward to it now.  Maybe I'll even get to squeeze in a beach trip with one of my friends.  We shall see.  I know one thing, I'm going to be a busy girl the next week and a half, trying to prepare to be gone for that long.  I don't care, it's worth it.  :)

Today I have a card for the:



I colored with Prismacolor pencils & mineral spirits and kept the layout simple.  I had this old ladybug paper in my stash, so I applied a piece in a diagonal direction and then attached the ladybug image with dimensional dots.  I attached a small ribbon tag, some black pearl stickers, and some little ladybug embellies.  Then I misted the whole thing with Silver Foil Smooch Spritz (trying to cover up a boo-boo, actually).  I added some Black Diamond Stickles to her paintbrush, as well as to the black spots on her back and the black spots she's painting on the flowers.  Peace.
