Snail and Ladybug Joy Fold Card


I am a little late today. I started this card this morning but had to go and catch up with a lovely lady that I haven't seen since December last year. Back again now and finished this card. I have been wanting to try one of these cards out since I saw Kylie's wonderful tutorial over at INKlings from Kylie's Craft Room. Funny thing is I have had a pile of black leather craft card in my cupboard for a little bit and on the weekend got to and cut them all down to card size. I had the exact sizes already cut....just had to trim the front flap of the big card. The papers on this card have come free from some UK magazine...aren't they lovely. I have also used bazzill bling card from Blue Edge Crafts. The cute image I received from Stacie over at All Things Crafty. I have coloured it with my watercolour pencils and added some Dimensional Magic to the ladybug shell and the drops of rain. The inside of the small card I still have to add a greeting but wanted to show you all this card today. The lovely textured paper came from Blue Edge Crafts and was a perfect colour match to the red flower. I was finding this really hard as all the reds I seem to have are yellow based reds and I needed the blue base red.
