Springtime Scenes Z Fold

As you know I love, love, love unique dies, and the dies in the Springtime Scenes Bundle in the Online Store definitely "fit the bill"! This card also uses the darling "ladybug" die cuts! This inspiration comes from Amy Koenders. Her base color is Calypso Coral, paired with our brighter greens, AND the darling "Ladybug" print from Homemade Sweetness DSP! We will be making this card in class this week!

Measurements:

Calypso Coral:1/2 sheet, scraps
Basic White: 3 3/4" x 5" (inside), 3 1/4" square (circle die)
Secret Sea: 4" x 5 1/4" (inside), 1 7/8" x 5 1/4", scraps
Lemon Lime Twist: 3 1/4" square (base), 2 pcs @ 1/2" x 2 1/4" (leaves)
Granny Apple Green: 3 1/4" square (leaf circle), 2 pcs @ 1 1/2" x 2 1/4" (leaves)
Adhesive sheet (optional): for circle leaves
Homemade Sweetness DSP (N)(OE): 1 3/4" x 5" (ladybug print)

To Make This Card:

Take Calypso Coral base and fold in half. Then, to create the "Z" fold, fold the front back on itself. Crease well.
Next, adhere the Secret Sea layers to the inside and front flap.
Then, add DSP to the front flap.
Now, we're going to stamp and color the White inside layer. Stamp the "grass" in Granny Apple Green on the bottom. Stamp the "ladybug" in Secret Sea ink, and color with Secret Sea Blends, and Calypso Coral Blends. Lastly, randomly stamp the flower in Secret Sea ink.
For the circle focal point. Use the largest circle from the Stylish Shapes and cut from the Lemon Lime Twist piece.
For the "detailed leaves circle" die cut from the Granny Apple Green piece. Note: I would recommend adhering an Adhesive Sheet to the back before die cutting!
I would also add Adhesive Sheet to "detailed leaf layer" cut from Granny Apple Green, as well, and mounted to a "solid" Lemon Lime Twist leaf.
And, lastly, die cut the thin White circle from the die with the bundle!
Also, die cut the "solid ladybug" from Secret Sea and the "dots" from Calypso Coral. Adhere together with "green glue".
Now, it's time to assemble the entire circle.
Adhere the "detailed leaf circle" to the Lemon Lime Twist base. Then add the White circle on top.
Put the 2 pcs of the "leafy sprigs" together and attach to circle. And then add the "Ladybugs".
