It was my pleasure and honour to be asked to be a guest designer at the  

DRS Designs blog.

They sent me the cutest little stamps to play with and this is what I came up with:

The bubble background was stamped in Versamark on the kraft cardstock. Isn't it so striking? I love versamark on kraft... The piggies were stamped in Brilliance and coloured with Koh-I-Noor pencils and Gamsol. Papers by: Papertrey Ink, Bazzill, Stampin' Up (and dot is unknown.. it was a scrap..).

The ladybugs were stamped in Momento (Tuxedo Black) and coloured in with Copic markers. I added some black bling to some of the dots with Kaiser jewels and white cheeks with a gel pen. Papers: Papertrey ink, felt ribbon by American Crafts.

I stamped the sentiment first, then decided to add the ladybug stamp in the background. I stamped it in black, stamped it off once (stamped it on a scrap) then stamped it in Versamark. I coloured in very subtle red highlights with copic markers. 

Papers by: Stampin' Up (kraft), and all others by Papertrey Ink.
