Springtime Scenes Critters or Insects Theme!

Welcome to Create With Stamping Friends Creatively Simple! Connie and I create simple cards with a theme each week. This is our theme for this month:

I have two types of ladybugs on my card today for my critters or insects. You’ll see dry embossed ladybugs from the Ladybug Picnic 3D Embossing Folder and cute Ladybug Garden Epoxy Shapes sitting on my leaves:

I only used 2 colors for my cardstock layers: Basic White & Granny Apple Green. A little pop of red with the ladybugs, twine and the sentiment was added too:
