Little Ladybug meets Tiny Tiny Sentiments

Hi folks and welcome to my haven in a hectic world.

Today's card is one I created for a friend I haven't seen in a while, and just thought I'd let her know I'm thinking of her by sending her a little valentines card.
The layout came from lisa's stamp studio. I had an idea in my head of what I wanted to do and used some old stash.

Card Stock:
Whisper White 3 pieces 21 x 14.5 scored at 10.5 (card base), 6.5 x 6.5 (square), 6 x 2.5 (sentiment)
Poppy Parade 2 pieces 14.5 x 6.5 (1st layer), 7 x 7 (scallop square).
DSP 14.5 x 5.5 (2nd layer).

Measurements are all in centimetres.
(cs) = card stock, (dsp) = designer series paper, (r) = retired, (ss) = stamp set, when using layering dies (1) is the smallest.

  • Adhere the poppy parade (cs) down the centre of the card base using liquid glue.
  • Now adhere the (r) sunny garden (dsp) down the middle of the central panel using liquid glue.
  • With the  square piece of whisper white (cs) stamp the lady bug from the little ladybug (ss) using memento black ink.
  • With the smaller piece of whisper white (cs) stamp the sentiment from the tiny tiny sentiments (ss) in poppy parade ink.
  • Die cut the ladybug stamped image using the stitched shapes dies and the (3) square, the poppy parade (cs) with (7) scalloped square from the layering squares dies, and the sentiment using the rectangle from the (r) build it dies.
  • Using the black, smoky slate and poppy parade stampin' blends colour the ladybug.
  • Dye a piece of the whisper white crinkled seam binding ribbon green, using the old olive stampin' blends and make a bow with tails.
  • Attach the ladybug to the scalloped square using dimensional pads.
  • Now adhere the sentiment to the bottom of the scalloped square at the back using liquid glue.
  • Then attach the scalloped square to the card base.
  • Adhere the green bow using glue dots and then randomly arrange some (r) gingham gala sequins (I used 3).
Will be back again soon with more cards
