It's Totally Ladybug Tuesday - Hayley's Challenge... and some exciting news!!

Good Morning, and welcome to this weeks Totally Ladybug Tuesday!!

This week it was the turn of the lovely Hayley to set the challenge... well I say the lovely Hayley but I think this one had some of the DT in a bit of a fluster!!  (Me included!!)  Hayley asked up to use a cat or dog image, but then to do a shabby chic/vintage style

All I'm going to say is that normally I am a complete distressophobe, and I like my straight lines!!  I can't help it, it's how I am!!  However, last week I had an awful week at work which worked to my advantage as the papers took the full force of my frustration!! :-D.

Right enough of my blah blah blah, here's my card...

As you can see all the edges took a battering... at one point I feared for the safety of my beloved Tim Holtz scissors, but they stood up to the task magnificently.  I adore these MME Lost and Found papers and I knew I was going to use them for this card as soon as I saw them.  How I didn't know, so bought 2 of each in the range, just to make sure :-)

Here's a close up of the rather cute Cross-Eyed Buttercup - I've added red stickles to the bow on top of her head and glossy accents on her nose and to the Ladybug she is trying to look at :-)

As ever this card looks so much better IRL than my dodgy photography skills allow!!

Supplies -

Cross Eyed Buttercup, It's Only Words 1 both Ladybug Crafts Ink

MME Lost and Found Papers; Cream Bazzill; Buttons and Twine, Red Stickles; MS Lattice Arch Border Punch; Labels 4 Nesties; Copics; Glossy Accents
