This is a triple challenge...
Tues CC326 - Regal Pink Mellon, Tues MMTPT, & Wed SC336. I used Leigh Grady's digi TPT free image. I also made 3 card kits for Lindsay to put together while she prepars for her bone marrow transplant, each the same colors but the a different arrangement of the colors. I also did not cut the flower out, giving Lindsay that option.
I popped my flower up & since I accidentally cut off the ladybug feelers, I used flower stamens! A bit too big, but...
I hope this will cheer up Lindsay, and if you'd like to join in read about it here: MMTPT149 ~ DETECTIVE RED E. TABLOOM! GET THE KEYS TO THE EVIDENCE ROOM! by Mothermark at Splitcoaststampers
It's been a long, hot day here in OH, & I am zapped. It is just after 9 & I can hardly keep my eyes open - as evidenced by all the mistakes I've already corrected!! I will leave comments tomorrow.
Thanks for stopping by to take a peek.

Those little antennae are always the fiddliest thing to cut - nine times out of ten with butterflies I decide it's easier to do it on purpose and use thread or a tiny thin sliver of paper - and sometimes stamens . Sweet card, and a really good take on the sketch challenge too.

Such a pretty, long-stemmed flower and a cute, cute ladybug. I like what you did with the antenna.

Karen, this is so awesome. One of my favs from yesterday's challenge. It is going into my favs. I like how you bridged the gap with the flower. Terrific idea. And ladybugs, well......they are some of my fav things.
