Welcome friends!
If you’ve ever stared at a die cut and wondered exactly how to decorate it, the Lovely Ladybug die from Concord & 9th is going to make that decision a whole lot easier. The impression it leaves right inside the die cut acts as a built-in road map — it shows you exactly where to add color, so all you have to do is pick your palette and follow the lines.
In today’s tutorial, I’m walking you through all of the steps to create this shaped Lovely Ladybug card from start to finish. And at the end, I’m sharing additional color examples so you can see just how many directions you can take this die, plus some inspiration using the rest of the Concord & 9th release.
