Lady Bug Friends

     Can you believe it!  Another week has flown by and it's time for a new challenge at Mo's Digital Pencil.  My wonderful DT Sistah Debbie has chosen a theme of "Fantasy or Halloween" for this week's challenge.  I'm really not a Halloween person so I decided to play with one of Mo's adorable fairies.  This little sweetie has a ladybug friend.

     For my card I used this great sketch from Bearly Mine.

     The background really caught my eye and I thought it would be a cool effect if I could make that back panel textured.  So I broke out my Martha Stewart scoreboard and went to work.  Since I was going to be accordion folding I knew 6 x 6 wasn't going to work unless I wanted to piece so I dug out an old K & Company 12 x 12 pad that I love and used half of one of the sheets.  I just scored at random intervals on the board.  Didn't want it to be uniform, but rather match the different sized stripes in the sketch more or less.  I like how it turned out and it was pretty simple to do.  I cut apart a Memory Box Fresh Foliage die cut to make it fit better and added some flowers using a MS hydrangea punch.

     Here's a close up of the bug lover.
