Lady Bug Card

This card measures 6ins by 6ins and uses a pre-scored Hobbycraft blank.
Bugs and Kisses ladybug card
I am particularly chuffed with this card as it came together so effortlessly, despite my flagging mojo, nothing, for once, ended up in the bin for once!

I used the ladybirds and sentiment from this pack of cardboard stickers, that I believe, came from Poundland …….

……. and these trusty old old punches go back for far too many years to remember.
Ladybug and daisy card
I decided to layer the daisies to give the card some extra dimension, especially when they are fluffed up a bit.
Punched daisies
The gold circles and oblongs are nail art embellishments are also from Poundland.  Originally I doodled the heart shaped frame, but as I added the flower centre studs, I wondered if the oblongs might work if I added them to the lines, I think they did!
Ranger Glossy Accents
I put a layer of Ranger Glossy Accents on both of the ladybirds and sentiment, again to add some extra texture and dimension.  The finishing touches were made with a scattering of groups of three white dots using a white gel pen.  Voila!
