Sweet Stampin - Nature


It is time for another challenge over at the Sweet Stampin Challenge blog. This fortnight we would like to you to "get back to Nature". Not literally of course, otherwise we would be called the Sweet Stampin Outdoor Adventure Blog. 

We want you to create a project that shows us ... NATURE, in particular, bugs, bees and ladybirds. 
Our regular monthly sponsor - Joanna Sheen and our challenge sponsor - Crafty Emmas Store have some great prizes to give away.
I have used my Magnolia Tulip Wheelbarrow and for all of you that have this stamp and just don't remember those ladybirds - no need to run and check - you are right - they are a tucked in extra. My T2, T4 and T6 Copic markers got a good workout with this image and the background paper I have used is from My Minds Eye 'On the Bright Side'. 

I am entering this card into the following challenges: 
Magnolia Stamp Lovers Punch challenge
The Cutie Pie Challenge Flowers
Deep Ocean Challenge #20 Spring
Flutterby Wednesday #192 Open 
Do you Stack Up #61 Things with Wings

Don't forget to pop on over to the Sweet Stampin blog and check out what the rest of the design team have come up with.

  1. You know, Jenny, I think this is one of the loveliest cards I've ever seen - seriously. Still can't get over how you managed to get those ladybirds to look like they're part of the Magnolia stamp. Have a great weekend! Hugs, Tracey x

  8. I love the papers and I love your colouring. So cool that you added ladybugs (or ladybirds, as you said) after the fact. I will say that the butterflies look a little too freakishly real......

  23. Jenny, I used this card as an inspiration and made one similar. I don't want to post it though without your permission. I would love to post it with your name and blog as my inpsiration, but if you rather I did not then it is no big deal, I have plenty of cards to post. But I do love this card so I hope you take it as a compliment. thanks, Kim
