Sweet Bugs Clean & Simple Card

I spotted this idea by Sharon at "As the Ink Dries", and thought it would be perfect for class, including my Senior stampers. These images are stamped and then colored. I actually like the colored Lily of the Valley! Anyway, my senior gals loved it!

Measurements:

Poppy Parade: 1/2 sheet cut LENGTHWISE
Basic White: 2 pcs @ 4" x 5 1/4", 2 1/2" x 4" (arch), 3/4" x 3 7/8", scraps (images)
Made with Love DSP (N): 3 1/4" x 3 7/8" (Poppy "dashes"), 2" x 3 7/8", 5/8" x 4" strip (sm hearts on Strawberry Slush)

To Make This Card:

Adhere one large, White layer to front of Poppy Parade card base.
Next, add "dash" Poppy Parade DSP to the top, and the small heart DSP to the bottom. The edges will overlap.
Then cover the "seam" with the 3/4" strip of Basic White.
Now, stamp the images in Memento Black ink and die cut with corresponding dies. You'll need one "Reading Ladybug", one "Lily of the Valley", and 3 flowers/grass.
Color in the images with Poppy Parade, Flirty Flamingo, Granny Apple Green.
Die cut an arch in White.
To create the focal point.. I placed one "flower" near the bottom left corner of arch. Use the smaller Dimensionals. Next, I added the "Ladybug", and then I added another "flower to the right (not too low), and the last "flower in between - all on Dimentionals. Lastly, you'll add the "Lily of the Valley" - tucked behind right flower.
If enough room, stamp the words from Sweet Jar, otherwise, find another sentiment that will fit!
Next, place the completed "arch" onto the card front with Dimensionals.
Finish with White twine bow, and silver Festive dots.
