Cards with Hello Ladybug Bundle

To make this card I used the Hello Ladybug stamp set and the LadyBug punch.
This is such a fun bundle to create.
I also used the Daisy Punch and the Stitched Greenery Die for the background.
The Stitched Greenery die is a large die that can be used to create a background.
To make the Ladybugs I stamped the body with Memento Black ink on Basic White card stock. To punch out the wings I used Blushing Bride and the dots are stamped in Memento Black ink.
To stamp the body and the wings I used my Stamparatus. This is a stamp positioning tool for photopolymer and cling stamps. This tool helps to create prefect stamps.
Here are the measurement to make this card.
The base is 5 1/2" x 8 1/2" in Basic White.
The background layer is 4" x 51/4" in Mint Macaron.
Here is the inside of the card

Here are more cards from the Hello Ladybug bundle.
