BBTB2/Ladybug/BoysWillBeBoys

Happy Monday.... Heather, our wonderful leader in all things BBTB2, is the hostess for our week's challenge and she selected Boys Will Be Boys cartridge. We are to design with the ladybug. I do not have that cartridge so I went to my trusty and oh so versatile Doodlecharms cartridge to use that cute ladybug. Be sure to see all of the cards by the designers at BBTB2.

I decided to use the Easel card design. Usually the easel card is cut at 10x4-1/2 inches but because I had some rather busy scenes to design, I cut the base card at 10x5-1/2. In usual design style, I scored at 2-1/2 and 5 inches in, and the first fold is folded down to accommodate the outside card. This photo displays the card in the easel style. The Mushroom on the bottom half of the card has been popdotted with double layers so it will stand nice and high.

This is the front of the card when laying flat.
I love how an easel card stands. I often find that recipients of my easel cards do not know how to display my "art" so I will enclose a little direction sheet.
Recipe:
Cricut: Doodlecharms - Ladybug
Simply Charmed - Mushrooms
Paisley - Sweet
Flower: Creative Memories flower punch
Cuttlebug: Embossing

This is a fabulous card, Carole. What a great color combo. I'm obsessed with all things polka dot so I just love that black and white polka dot. Well done.
