Hello everyone! Fern... thanks for filling in and for this fun TLC! I had an idea in my head and this didn't come out at all like it started... just kind of developed a life of it's own.
The challenge was to use pleats on our card. I started out with this fun lady bug dp of unknown origin. I pleated it and had a little Studio G bug stamp that included this sentiment, and the eyes and antennae were from the bug. I started out using that stamp and somehow decided I could make a cute bug out of a heart, and then I cut out the words and the eyes and antennae and added to my punched bug. His bod is a CB diecut heart... using all three sizes together. Under that is a black 1" circle for his body and a 1/4" circle for his head. Used ribbon and punched holes with my crop-a-dile for his spots. That's about it. Not sure what I think about it... but here it is and thanks for looking!
