Ladybug Birthday in 2026-2028 In Colors

For my card today I wanted to focus on the new 2026-2028 In Colors which will debut on May 5.  I had this vision to stamp the ladybugs in a row and color one in each color...then decided I really needed to use the Peaceful Pine to color my foliage rather than a ladybug.  I started with a sketch (of which this card looks absolutely nothing like except for the rectangle lol), then dove in and this is the result.  I am rather pleased with the looks of it.   It just goes to show you how you can start with an idea or sketch and it's only a jumping off point for your creativity.  To watch the YouTube video tutorial on how I put this card together, click this link.

Happiest birthday wishes dsp strip card

 I've used a sketch I saw from Julie Salva for my card today.  I didn't do mine exactly like the sketch because crafty girls do what they want and a sketch is only an inspirational starting point.  I hope you like how this turned out.  I was quite pleased with the result, and I think anyone would be happy to receive a birthday card like this.  To watch the video tutorial on how to put this card together, be sure to head on over to my YouTube channel to watch the replay.  You will find it by clicking this direct link.
