Ladybug Bloom


OMG, this is a first for me. Not only have I completed and uploaded by card for the Delightful Inspiration challenge before Thursday night...... but I have actually managed to complete a whole month's worth of the challenges Wooo Hoo !!!

Faith hadn't drawn a new image for last week's entrants so we were given a voucher for $2.50 off any image of our choice in the shop. I was really pleased as the image I chose was Ladybug Bloom and I had missed out on this in a previous month and absolutely adored the image. I mean it is so me, looks great in bright colours, layered up 5 times with 3d foam and I even drew a cute face on the ladybird :) Another bonus was it was only $2 so I put the extra towards another digi. Thank you Faith, I love you :) xxx

Anyhoo, this gorgeous little beauty was made using a bright (and i do mean sunglasses bright) orange cardblank from a Let's Make Cards pack. The glittery DP is from DCWV. It is onle of those little mat stacks and it was the perfect fit, no cutting required. The image and sentiment have been matted onto a scrap from the same pad which is a red and white diagonal pattern.

The image of course has been coloured with Promarkers. I layered up the flower and the little ladybird and drew her smile on, I mean how can she not smile when she has such a pretty flowery dress on?

To finish I added a spotty ribbon and some Prima flowers with a bead cap and a gem brad. This is just a complete Made By Mandy signature card, bright, bold colourful and cute.

Card Size - 7" x 5"

Happileigh Scrappin' #33



We have a new challenge today over at Happileigh Scrappin' Challenges which is a nice easy one..... Anything Goes

For my Card I have combined 2 images, Bubble Bath & just the head from Jenny Jeans.


In my graphics program I played about with the Jenny image so I could get the head to the right size to suit the proportions of the bath. I then printed out only the upper torso section along with the main bath section. Both were coloured using Promarkers and cut out so I could position Jenny in the bath.I have used 3d foam squares and placed hair on the right behind the bubbles and the hair on the left on top of the bath. The whole bath is raised on 3d foam.

The card front was covered with this gorgeous glittered paper from Dovecraft I had coloured the bath in the turquoise colours to pick up the repeating flower from the paper. The flower grouping is a mixture of paper flowers and a gem brad in the centre. I have added 2 white scroll rub ons from Stampin' Up from a challenge prize I won :) The sentiment is from Papermania which I have added to a scrap of white card.

There are loads of fabulous images in the Happileigh Scrappin' Store and Leigh has also got some gorgeous new designs available. With every purchase you this gorgeous image and sentiment free........
