Know how to make shiny ladybugs?

By | March 26, 2020

Did you notice the sparkle and shine on my lady bugs?

Wonder . . . how did she to that?   Well, I’m here to tell you – Fine Tip Glue Pen !

First I stamped the Lady Bugs with Memento Black ink, I colored them with Stampin’ Blends (Real Red) and die cut them with the matching Ladybug Dies. Next, take your Fine Tip Glue Pen and add a thin layer of the glue on the colored portion of the lady bugs, if you get any air bubbles, just pop them with a toothpick, let the lady bugs dry completely and add to your card!

 

Here are the specifics on the balance of the card:

  • Card base = Shaded Spruce Card stock
  • Shimmery White Card stock, colored with Shaded Spruce, Petal Pink, So Saffron and Balmy Blue
    • use the tool of your choice – Sponge Brayer, Sponge Daubers or even a sponge
  •  Grass die from the Friendly Silhouettes Dies
    • these are part of the Friend Like You Bundle
    • bundle includes the dies & Friend Like You Photopolymer Stamp Set
  • Lady bugs and flower – colored with Stampin’ Blends
    • Real Red, Mango Melody and Shaded Spruce
