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.
