Lady Bug Card

Ok, let's get the technical mumbo jumbo out of the way. I will be entering this card into the following challenges:
1. Cardz TV: Make a card, layout, or craft project for Mother's day
2. Little Scrap Pieces: It's a bug's life
3. 3 Girl Jam: Anything goes with Ribbon

Ok, this card was actually kind of an experiment. I saw a card on the web that is very similar to this one. It appears to be a card that was done at a Stampin' up retreat (http://stampndesignstore.blogspot.com/2011/03/butterfly-bee-lady-bug-cards.html). I could have paid for the template, but figured it would be easy enough to figure out. Which, after some thought, it really wasn't that hard to figure out. So, here is the card:

Say hello to little miss lady bug. I believe the black paper is from recollections. The red paper is glitter paper from DCWV. The black buttons are from my stash. The eyes are while gel pen with black sharpie. The crinkle ribbon I received in an RAK.  Thanks Karen!!! Now for the inside:

AS you can see, this card is simply shapes. The base is three 4" circles welded together with a 2 inch circle welded to the top of the center circle. The two outer circles are folded back on each other and adhered to itself. I added the black half circle so that the wording couldn't be seen peeking through from the inside. I then cut a small wedge out of the circles to represent the  opening of the wings. I printed the sentiment out on the computer and adhered to center circle.

The sentiment: I was going through some things at my Mom's house the other day when I came across a box of stuff I had made in elementary school. Included in this box was a hand made card made of  white constructions paper with ladybug stickers all over it. On the inside, was this sentiment. I'm sure it was something the teacher provided, but I think it is very cute.

I think it needs a little refinement and definitely more buttons. Oh, well, there's always next time.

Hope you like it.
