So cheerful and just right for a card. This started as an exercise in shading with copics...something I am yet to master on small scale things.
I was also trying out a new type of centre fold card. I made a mistake on cutting the side panels - they should have gone right down to the bottom. Of course I didn't realise you'd see the bottom of the side panels until I'd cut and glued them on. So then I decided to cut out some flowerpots (which you can't see very well) and some foliage and glued one set of foliage behind each flowerpot at the back of the fold and one set behind the front of the fold. It gives it a rather nice 3d effect. While I was scrabbling in my box of embellishments for something to put on the front, I came across a packet of painted wooden ladybirds that I bought age ago. I glued those on to the front. The ladybirds on the flowerpots in the drawing are part of the original picture, so it all tied in nicely.
