To recreate the ladybird card, you will need:

Sweet Sorbet card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” – scored at 4⅛”
Parakeet Party card – 5⅛” by 3⅜”
Basic White card – 5” by 3¼”
Basic Black card – 3¼” by 2¼”

Using Sweet Sorbet ink, I randomly stamped the daisy flower all over the 5” by 3¼” panel of Basic White card. I added the flower centres using Memento Tuxedo Black ink.

The trio of tiny dots were added, randomly, over the same panel using Parakeet Party ink. The decorated panel was then glued to the Parakeet Party layer which was then adhered to the Sweet Sorbet card base. I used Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive on both occasions.

Using the Penned Dies, I die-cut a scalloped edge along the bottom of the 3¼” by 2¼” panel of Basic Black card. I glued the sentiment piece above the scalloped edge and trimmed the excess length of card away. A length of Black Baker’s Twine was wrapped around the panel, secured on the back with Sellotape.
