Little Lady Meets Mixed Bouquet

EDITTED TO ADD A PICTURE OF BOTH AND THE RIBBON:

First things first a little note for you penny wise stampers.

I found some dimensional foam stickers 1/4th inch square

1/8th inch thick (3 sheets to a pack) , 384 squares in all for a 1$;

I also found 9ft rolls of white organza ribbon (they had silver also) for

1$ with the brides stuff, where in the Target dollar section.

I finally purchased some Papertrey stamp sets. Why did I wait so long!
I used them both in this card. Its actually the second card I made. I undid the first one because I didn't like it. I worked really hard tonight just to make one card to post. I hate when that happens. I was getting desparate thinking I wouldn't have anything new to share. The first card seemed off, I just couldn't get it to look like what was in my head. When I became frustrated with the first card I looked around my desktop and found the left over background piece I had from the card I posted a day ago. The "Little Lady" bug I made, was salvaged from the first card so I decided to put the pieces together, and I came up with this card. The background clors are the same as previously posted. I stamped the body of the lady bug with SU classic ink More Mustard and the spots with Stazon Timber Brown. It is mounted on a foundation circle cut with my Mini Monograms Cartridge in my cricket and has a shdow the samecut the same size in Certainly Celery. after the trail was stamped in Really Rust it was all assembled and mounted on an 1/8th inch thermoweb dimensional . I stamped Celebrate with Ruby Red, and the stiching was stamped with Papertreys Faux Ribbon in Bravo Burgandy. The swiss dotted ribbon is from Walmart and the cranberry crisp Ribbon piece is from SU. After the card front was assembled, I mounted it on SU Chocolate Chip cardstock.

I just have to say I love stamping with these clear stamps from Papertrey, alot more than I thought I would. It was easy to layer and place all the images where I wanted. I flexed the
"Faux Ribbon" strips on the first card to match a wave cut in the card stock and it flowed evenly along the curve when stamped. Its just to bad my idea tanked for me and I didn't like the card. I liked the sm "Little Lady" though so I kept her for you to see. I will definately use them more.

I hope you enjoy the card. I can't say it was an totally enjoyable evening, it was a lesson in frustration, but I like the end results. I am sure something I have learned will help me in future evenings when I make another attempt to get an idea from my head to the paper.

Until then Happy Stamping Everyone, K
