Official State Insect
I was over at Gina K’s Stamp TV and there was a color challenge for red, black and white. I love these colors together and just had to play along. You can read all about it here
I used SU’s Riding Hood Red, Whisper White and my black is from Hollos Paper – a cool store here in Ohio that sells cs for a wonderful price. My black is a wonderful thick cs that is black on one side, white on the other and a super weight for a card base. Unfortunately, you cannot order from Hollos on line, but for me, it is about an hour drive and worth every second.
I used Unity’s distressed dots for my background and Unity’s Little Buggers for my ladybug. I just love ladybugs! They are so cute and perfect for so many different cards,and I just learned that ladybugs are the official state insect of Ohio. Really? I never knew Ohio had an official state insect. Hmmmm . . . interesting.
Thanks for stopping by. I hope you have a wonderful and blessed day!
Stamps: Unity Stamps Distressed Dots and Little Buggers
CS and DP: as listed above
Inks, markers and coloring tools: Palette Noir Black, bic markers, white gel pen

Lovely card Michelle....Black, red and white are great colours to work with!
Great job on this color challenge!!This is adorable, love this lady bug. I am working on the color challenge as we speak :).
An official state insect? I suppose if you had to have one at least a lady bug is cute! Your card is wonderful!
Cute card, Michelle! Great job on the challenge! Blessings to you!
Oh how pretty Michelle! love the colors you used...tfs!!!
Beautiful card! Too bad Hollos doesn't ship - that paper sounds amazing.
I wish the ladybug was our official insect. I think ours is a mosquito. LOL!
I want black and white cardstock!! That sounds awesome! I always cut a white layer for the inside of a card with a dark cs base so that is genius that they have it already done for you!!
Your card is extra cute because I love ladybugs. I think they are good luck aren't they? Since I didn't know the NH state insect, I googled it. We have the ladybug too! How cool is that?
Love the way 'Hi' stands out on this cute card
