It's been quite some time since I've been able to make it to a teaparty and I'm late this week to boot, but I was determined to make it this week.
This week the teapotters are bringing ladybugs , lots and lots of good luck ladybugs to the party. The destination for our cards and all these ladybugs is fellow teapotter Julie, also known as Julesanne , who just had back surgery.
For my card, I used several punches for the embellishments, but stamped the main scene. The grass and other images were clear heat embossed after coloring with both Copic and SU waterbase markers. The ground was sponged, as well as the sky, using a mask to form the clouds.

Lovely to see you at the tea-party this week, Susan. And with one of your gorgeous creative cards as always. I like your bug's eye perspective looking up from ground level at that lovely flower and the cloudy summer sky.
