TLC 157 - Mixed designs

I did this card card for Monday's technique challenge. It was to use different patterned paper. This is a hard thing for me. I pulled out these two from Cosmo Cricket's Jitterbug line and stayed with bug theme with this adorable lady bug from Papertrey's Little Lady set. I just got this set and I LOVE it. They Papertrey stamps really are nicer than some of the other one's out there. I added chocolate chip and very vanilla for contract and put it on a kraft card. I added the pink satin ribbon and the brown gingham and the turquoise snaps that I squished with my crop-a-dile. Then I sketched dashes around the edge of the card to pull it all together. I stamped Happy Birthday to you and popped up the Happy. (In this picture it covers the Birthday to you. ). I really need to get a new camera. I like how this turned out. I normally stick to bright white for my backgrounds, so this is a nice change.
