For my project today I have focused on the fabulous hostess only stamp set "Little Ladybug". I have created a pop out gate fold card that I have closed with a belly band and it opens up to show a fun outdoor spring scene. Perfect for a garden enthusiast or someone who thinks lady bugs are cute!

All the details for my card...I have created the clouds in the sky by using the clouds stencil from the pattern party decorative masks, a sponge dauber and white craft ink. Once my craft ink dried, I outlined the design with a white gel pen to make the clouds pop on the balmy blue cardstock.
I fussy cut two of the smallest lady bugs for added detail and added them to the flower on the my centre panel and the the sentiment panel on the far right of the card. All the ladybugs (and the two flowers) on the card have been coloured in with stampin' blends. I just used the blends for basic colouring and not blending on the ladybugs for ease (as I had so many to colour in) as you can see when the card is closed the front and back is pretty much filled with ladybugs!
The next demonstrator to share their sale-a-bration inspiration with you is Christina Barnes

OMG! Sooooo cute! I love all of the ladybugs on the blue, and I don't blame you for not wanting to blend all those bugs!
