Create With Connie & Mary Saturday Blog Hop

Casing Libby Fens!

Welcome to our Saturday Blog Hop at Create With Connie & Mary! We are all casing (copying) Libby Fens this week and I chose this card from Libby’s blog:

I’ve always been a big fan of combining black and yellow, so this card really caught my eye. I used the same colors and layout but added the ladybugs with the Hello Ladybug stamp set and Ladybug Builder Punch:

Once I had all of the ladybug pieces cut and assembled, I colored the Basic White Cardstock body with Wink Of Stella Clear Glitter Brush to coordinate with the White 3/8″ Glittered Organdy Ribbon. You can see the sparkle in these photos:

• Stamps: Hello Ladybug
• Inks: Tuxedo Black Memento
• Cardstock: Daffodil Delight, Basic Black, Basic White, Thick Basic White

Card Recipe:

• Card Base: Thick Basic White Cardstock 11″ x 4-1/4″. Score and fold at 5-1/2″.
• Layer #2: Cut (4) using Basic Black Cardstock and the Rectangular Postage Stamp Punch. Glue three vertically on the left-hand side of the card base, leaving space for the ribbon. Set aside the 4th one.
• Ribbon: Wrap the White 3/8″ Glittered Organdy Ribbon around the card front between the two rectangles and tie into a bow. Glue the 4th rectangle to the right turned in the opposite direction and over the ribbon.
