Totally Ladybug Tuesday - Challenge 33 - use red somewhere on your project

Good morning!!

This week at Ladybug Crafts Ink  it is the turn of the lovely Gaelle to set the challenge, she'd like to see...

Red

I decided to use red on the image, which is The Ruffle from the Shoes and Bags collection (you must check out the flip/flops and beach bag image - perfect for summer cards!), and as an accent to these gorgeous MME papers


The all too true sentiment is one of three that come with the image


I accented the ruffle on the shoes and the metallic bits on the bag with glossy accents, and added a length of Antique Gold Lace Velvet, also available from the Ladybug Crafts Ink store.

A Marianne florish and oodles of flowers completed this card... as ever it looks SOOOOO much better in real life than my dodgy photos will ever allow (although I have asked for a light tent thingy for my birthday, so things may improve!!)
