Ladybird Penny Slider card

Good Morning everyone. 

Today im sharing the 2nd card i made for Alice's birthday, this one was for me to give to her.  I've made a penny slider so the ladybirds are 'flying' to and from the flowers.  My niece's are quite easy to make cards for as they are big into nature so lots of choice. 

A5 White cardbase.  I first took a piece of blue floral paper and attached it to red glitter card so that its more substantial.  I then worked out placement to die cut my slider slot dies, typically the slots turned out too narrow for the foam circles i had to i lined up the die again and cut it beside the first one, so this made it double width to easily fit my pennies and foam dots.  I then added alot of 2mm foam tape to the back, leaving room for the pennies to slide freely and attached to the white cardbase. 

I made up my ladybirds with black glossy & red glitter card. I then took 2 penny coins and added a foam dot between them, then attach the ladybird on top, i did this twice.  I die cut and made up 3 white flowers, adding a touch of yellow to the centres and the yellow buttons.  I inked up some card with lime oxide ink and die cut some leaves, I then used the same ink and stamped a tiny birthday sentiment to each leaf.  

Stamped greeting mounted on more of the red glitter card.  I then handwrote Alice in the top slider gap and 4 in the bottom one, just so i could personalise it and i think Alice will like the fact that the ladybirds move to reveal her name......well hopefully

A close up on my middle flower and hopefully you can make out the birthday sentiment i stamped on the leaves.  Very subtle.
