It was time to make a square card, and the cute ladybug would be the perfect focal point. I used the Ladybug Builder Punch to cut her body from Basic Black Cardstock, and her wings from Flowering Fields Designer Paper. Her wings were attached with glue at the neck and Mini Dimensionals to let them fly.
Next, I made her heart-shaped leaf with a Bouquet Of Love Die, also cut from Flowering Fields Designer Paper. The heart was layered with cardstock for thickness, and placed on Dimensionals, ready for the ladybug to munch.
The strip of paper behind the heart is Daffodil Afternoon Designer Paper, cut with an Ornate Layers Die. This paper is one of the Sale-a-bration items you can earn for FREE. Another pattern of the paper is being used for photographing the card. Isn’t it pretty? You can see all of the patterns in my Product List below.
The background is Very Vanilla Cardstock, 4″ X 4″, cut to fit my square card. The card base is Old Olive Cardstock, 8 1/2 ” by 4 1/4″, folded at 4 1/4″. This size is great, because it fits our Medium Envelope.
“You can bug me any time” is from the Hello Ladybug Stamp Set, stamped in Memento Black Ink, and cut with a Beautiful Trees Die. The ladybug’s trail is from the Garden Wishes Stamp Set, stamped in Memento Black Ink.
I completed my square card with three black, Classic Matte Dots.
I was inspired by Freshly Made Sketches.
