Oh no, this is the last week our GD Amanda is with us - I'm gonna miss her lovely creations for Ladybug Crafts Ink! As it's her final week with us, she has challenged us to make our own flowers for Totally Ladybug Tuesday! I nearly cheated and made my flowers with my rolled rose dies, but decided to actually have a go at this! Here is my DT card...
I made my flowers out of felt by simply cutting out circles and then chopping into them to make the petals - simple! I bought the blue and lilac felt from Ladybug Crafts Ink here. I love the soft look of the flower and knew it would go perfectly with my ever favourite dog, Buttercup! This one is Curios Buttercup - ain't she sweet?! The sweet sentiment is from the Magnum Sentiment set - love that font!
I also added a strip of gorgeous satin pleated ribbon - luscious!!! You can buy it by the yard here and it comes in other gorgeous colours, like brown and pink.
The other gorgeous DT cards are here - go take a look to get some ideas!
I used this week's The Sweet Stop Sketch and I am also entering my card into the Paper Pretties challenge and Wags 'n Whiskers challenge both with the theme of "Spring" and Sassy Studios Design challenge for "bloomin' beautiful".
