(Please scroll down for my A Spoonful of Sugar DT card!)
Celebrate what, you ask?! Anything you want! The ever sophisticated and well dressed Pami has set the Totally Ladybug Tuesday challenge this week for 'celebration'! Here is what I did...
As much as I love sweet, whimsical Buttercup the dog from the Ladybug Crafts Ink range, I'm lovin' Magnum the naughty cat more and more! This one is Add-On Magnum with the balloon and cake stamps from the Add-Ons set and the sentiment is from the Magnum Sentiments set. I love how you can mix and match all the images up! I watercoloured him on thick linen cardstock with my Distress Inks to give his fur some texture and I really liked the way it came out - it looks like suede IRL!
I hope you can join in with this week's challenge and you don't need to use a LCI stamp but we love it when you do! You can see all the other gorgeous DT makes here.
Thanks for visiting me - toodle-oo for now!

Hi Mary J
Great card!! Love your colouring of Magnum. He does look like he has had one or two slices of cake too many though, lol.
Thank you for sharing over at Make It Monday.

I love Magnum and what you've done with him. Really cute card. Maybe I can whip something up with Buttercup, to add to the celebration.
