Instructions

Score the large piece of real red card stock along the long side at 4 1/4", fold and burnish to make the card blank.

Stamp a sentiment and any decoration on the inside piece of whisper white card stock and adhere on the inside of the card.

Stamp a sentiment and one of the ladybugs on the scrap of whisper white, I lined both of the stamps up on one block so that I could get them how I wanted them. Colour in the ladybug and the flower,I don't have the right colour blends so I have used the ink pad and a blender pen to pick up the colour. You can also colour in any decoration on the inside in the same way if you want to. If you have blends, you can use those instead. Cut out with a circle die.

Adhere the dsp layer to the basic black layer and then add tear n tape across the centre. Cut a piece of ribbon that will fit across the front of the card and tuck behind by about 1" on either side. Pull the backing off the tape and adhere the ribbon to the front of the card. Make a small bow with the same ribbon and adhere to the left hand side of the card with a glue dot.

Add dimensionals to the back of the sentiment layer and adhere to the centre of the card.

Another quick, simple card that looks really cute, I hope you agree.
