Here's another one I did, though the orange here is definitely on the red side. I love these happy little Ladybugs. All images are DRS Designs.
There must be 50 ladybugs on this card. It seemed more like a hundred and fifty when I was coloring them all. I started by masking off a diagonal line and stamping the ladybug background across the lower section and sponging some lt blue ink on the top section. The ladybugs are all colored w/ markers and a blender. I used orange on top and red on the bottom and used the blender to drag the two toward the center. I masked all the ladybugs (yes, big groan!) and sponged on some lt green ink. The ladybug flower and greeting were stamped on another piece of white c/s, colored and the flower was cut out. The greeting was cut with a Spellbinders petite oval and backed w/ a petite scallop oval.
On the lower edge of the 5.5 x 4.25 (A2) white card, I stamped the ladybug border, colored it then trimmed around the bottom edge. I also stamped some of the border on a scrap, colored a few bugs and leaves, cut them out and attached them along the diagonal line of the card front.
