My first week at the lovely ladybugs!

Happy Tuesday everyone! I am especially excited cause first, I am off tomorrow (thank heavens!) and today begins my March guest dt member for ladybug crafts. This weeks challenge is to incorporate stitching into your card. I have always loved to see that on peoples cards, makes them look so nice and finished but have been too busy, err lazy actually, to haul out my machine and do it. Well, todays card has both real and faux stitching cause when I did pull out the machine to use it I don't like how it looks. Maybe it is the thread I used as it was quite fine, just need to fiddle more me thinks. So since I didn't like the look of it on the blue panels I did some faux stitching on the white panel with a copic multi liner and used my ruler to make sure the dashes were even.  I attempted to make one of the new ruffled roses using my scor pal but I didn't notice the edges weren't even where I glued them together and the angle I took the photo at makes it look twice as bad, it really isn't that wonky irl.  Ok guys, make sure you head on over to  http://ladybugscraftsinkchallengeblog.blogspot.com/ for the chance to win some new stamps. And they just had a blog hop so check out the sale on the new releases too!
