Love Bug Card - Cricut Cardz Challenge #57

Another card which I made for a challenge over at Cricut Cardz Challenge. The challenge was to create something using any cartridge you want but to only use the colours red, black and white. After much fiddling (deciding what papers, cricut cutes etc. to use) and quite a few hours (not exaggerating) I finally finished creating this card. It took me agesssssss but it was worth it. I plan on giving it to my Mum to give to my Dad for Valentines Day. Hopefully they both like it!!

Sentiment "Looks like somebody caught the..."

Inside..."Love bug". :)

Flower sticker

Cute ladybug/lovebug cut from create a critter. I used love heart shaped bling for the eyes cause this 'love bug' is in love <3

Closeup and different angle of the lovebug to show the shiny, foil-like paper I used for the wings and heart. Although it is kind of hard to see I lightly coloured little cheeks on the lovebug using a red coloured pencil.

Supplies:

• Black, red and white card stock
• Kaisercraft "Shaken not Stirred" 6" paper pad (white and black background papers are from this, as is the red scalloped border)
• Thin, black satin ribbon
• Black and red Kaisercraft rhinestone packs (for the flower centres and antennae)
• Red heart rhinestones from a pack which included clear/silver, pink, red and dark red heart shaped rhinestones by a company called Barunson Card - Crafty Bitz. Not sure where I bought them...sorry.
• I'm not sure how to describe the paper I used for the wings and heart - its thin and had a foil (?) like texture and it is like it has been embossed with little circles. All I know was that is doesn't cut very well using the cricut!!
• Alpha stickers are from Adorn It - Carolee's Creations in 'Red Hot'.

Well that's it! Thanks for checking out my card and come back soon to see more of my card creations.
