Ladybird and a Touch of Mixed Media

 I have a card to share today which is the result of playing around with a few mixed media ideas on a tag. I started by sponging the tag with a little green ink and then dug out a few stamps, most of which came from a magazine give away probably at least a couple of years ago.  I partially stamped some numbers overlaid using a crackle stamp with a grey inkpad then used black ink for the dandelion seed heads.  The leaves were die cut from some scraps of green card and the ladybird cut twice - once in black and once in red then trimmed the red part to overlay.  Some gloss was added to the wings.  A small red bow and a die cut greeting and we have a clean and simple mixed media (sort of) card.


Crackle stamp - a very old wood mounted one
Numbers and dandelions - from a Phill Martin magazine kit
Leaves - from a Stampin' Up die set

  7. It's lovely how you've put all the elements together. Such a sweet ladybird and the red ribbon balances it nicely.
