One Stitch at a Time Challenge 213

This week at One Stitch at a Time, we want you to keep it simple. Other than that, any theme is fine!

Our sponsor this week is:

This week, I got to work with a sweet set of images from BBCakes called Babybug.

Now, I got a little carried away with this, because I made my card, and then went to post it on the DT blog and realised I'd forgotten that I was supposed to 'keep it simple'. So, I've got two cards to show you!

First, the one that actually follows the challenge!

I combined several of the image in the set - Babybug herself as well as two sets of flowers, the snail, dragonfly and the ladybird. (Can you spot the ladybird? It's so tiny it's almost invisible!). I coloured the combined image with Promarkers, adding some texture to the grass. I cut the image and mat using a Spellbinders die, and used some paper from a pad I've had for ages called 'Picnic in the Park'. I finished the card with a felt embellishment I bought ages ago from the Pound shop!

I'd like to enter this card into the following challenges:

LCI where anthing goes,

And this is the second card:

So, it's the same image combination, again coloured with Promarkers, although I kept to more pastel shades. The paper is from a Me to You pad, and I cut the image and mat using dies from Spellbinders. The butterflies are alnso Spellbinder dies, and I've used a combination of normal card and Craft Creations Sparkle paper. The dragonfly is made using a Sizzix die and a similar combination of card and paper. I finished with some liquid pearls on the dragonfly, Babybug's antennae and the butterflies.

I'd like to enter this card into the following challenges:
