Baby Buggie

Where has the last week gone?!  I can't believe it is already time for another High Hopes challenge.  This week, Janette challenged us to use lots of circles on our cards.  I have to say I had so much fun with this challenge!  I have never made a card with this many circles, but I think it turned out cute.

I recently got some of Cosmo Cricket's new Early Bird patterned papers.  You all know how much I love vintage or vintage inspired stuff.  The patterned papers in this line are so cute and wonderfully vintage inspired!

I cut a large circle for my cute little ladybug image and colored it with copic markers.  Then, I masked my two bugs and sprayed my white cardstock with a E51 copic marker.  I sprayed it a little heavier around the edge.  Then, I sponged some dark chocolate ink around the edge and distressed it with a pair of scissors.  I added some paper piercing and some black buttons as the buggy wheels.

I chose three patterned papers and cut some large circles using nestability dies.  Then, I sponged the edges with dark chocolate ink, distressed the edges, and added the paper piercing.  I did the same thing pretty much with my sentiment circle (it's vintage cream cardstock).  Stamped my sentiment, sprayed it with a copic marker, added an ocean tides mat, sponged dark chocolate ink, and added paper piercing.  Then, I layered all my circles and tied a piece of ocean tides swiss dots ribbon around my card.

Have a great day!
