It's that time again...TLT and today is the turn of our lovely Guest Designer Amber. Sadly this is also Amber's last week with us so make sure you give her lots of Ladybug Love.
For her challenge Amber has chosen Plum Crazy with Stitching. Well, you all know I love stitching on my cards so that was a no brainer and also my one of my favourite colours is purple and plum is part of the purple family right :-D I wanted to use a stamp that I hadn't inked up in a while and Swing Ruby was definitely a candidate!
I knew straight away the perfect pp would be from Bo Bunny...this one is full of plum gorjossity! I stamped Swing Ruby on Copic X-press cs and coloured her in with my Copics (doh). I've started to love this cs even though it is a bit thin but it does what it says on the tin...no or very little bleeding. This was the third image I coloured, the first two I stamped on other cs and the bleeding was terrible.
I sponged the sky with a blue Colorbox cats eye inkpad
I used plenty of glitter on her wings, ruffle of her dress and a dusting on the leaves. Sparkly amethyst Swarovski crystals finished off her shoes.
I {heart} Ruby Fairies...I don't use them enough but that's going to change!
Make sure you check out the Challenge Blog to see if you're a winner from last week. There were some fabulous entries and I hope you'll enter this week with the same enthusiasm :-D If you're the winner of the stamp of your choice can you please let me know before Thursday so I can mail it to you before I leave otherwise it won't be until after February 4th.
Sorry this is short and sweet but I have to take Ruby to see her surgeon this morning and have to fit in some stops before and after! No rest for the wicked lol.
Thanks for stopping by...enjoy TLT and let us Ladybugs know what you think!
Catch ya later x

Me again! Just wanted to say how annoyed I am that you haven't got the card! I put it in the post on Sunday with a first class stamp - boo!!! I have my fingers crossed that it will be with you today!! Perhaps the postie is being slow on his rounds!
