Ruby-dooby-doo's Stampin Spot: Sweet Stampin Guest Designer

Happy New Year!

I'm starting 2011 on a high as I'm lucky enough to be this month's Guest Designer at Sweet Stampin! This week's challenge is to be inspired by your favourite song. Mine is Chasing Cars by a local band Snow Patrol ... have a wee listen HERE (give it a minute to get going!) - there's a line in it show me a garden that's bursting into life ... so this is my garden bursting into life! (in fact I wish my garden had some flowers at the minute, everything is a bit wilted and dead looking after all that snow and ice - don't think I've any blue flowers hibernating in my garden though LOL!)

I got this High Hopes image a while back and then bought a little pack of ladybugs for the specific purpose of using them with this stamp ... oh dear, I think this is maybe the second time I've used one! Coloured with copic markers, some Smooch Iluminate on the bees' wings and a silver peel off sentiment to finish. Papers from Basic Grey

Hope you've liked my wee card ... don't forget to play along with your favourite song over on the Sweet Stampin challenge blog (it's a tougher challenge than it sounds!)

Sketch from Sketch and Stash #51 (my stash is my little wooden ladybug) Its a free choice of sketch so I've used #30
