I think the IC challenge is one of my favorites to do. In fact, it was one of the first challenges I ever did. Stef you continually find these awesome sites that gets my mind a twirling with ideas. Today was another great site. I chose "two" to make this card. This one and this one........details.....
I stamped the flower from the All Natural set with black, clear ep. Colored with re-inkers and then cut the petals off.
Stamped a bg stamp with no name on it in red clear ep then sponge more real red over. Cut out using a circle coluzzle.
Cut out a larger circle sponged with sunshine yellow and butterscotch for the flower.
Punched out various sized black and white dots for the ladybug. Put my scene together on a white panel that I sponged sail boat blue, layering with black. Popped up the petal ends.
Made a panel of plaid bg using a homemade plaid maker. Put this on a left over white card that I had stamped a bg on using versa mark and clear ep. Then put my little scene panel on. Done........Hope this puts a smile on your face!....TFL :0)
