Totally Ladybug Tuesday ~ Going Dotty

Time for another Totally Ladybug tuesday!!

This week it is the lovely Lisa's turn to chose a challenge and she chose Going Dotty!!

I loved this challenge so much I made not just 1 card, but 3!! I hoped to get a fourth done but ran out of time!!

So here goes!

Jack chasing frog, this was my original challenge card.


I love this card, I tried to be clever using chalk ink on the image, blue or sky and wheat for the ground, I did this before colouring the image and then worried it would look rubbish, but it looks so much better in real life! I also added buttons over the top of the button paper which if you click on the paper you will see it in the enlargened image! I added stickles to the image, and twine to the top and bottom button, which you can also get from Ladybug Crafts Ink - here 

Then we have card number 2


 Similar layout, but slightly different, this one using Cheeky Jack, I just couldn't get this one to look right, so I kept adding bits to it and eventually liked it!

Then onto card number 3


Ok so I love this one!! it just fell together, using the same papers as the previous 2, I punched a border using my MS zig zag punch, inked up Jack and his wagon and added some cream Jute, added 2 large orange buttons to the top corners and bobs your uncle!! 

Thats it from me, remember to hop on over the the challenge blog and join in the fun, and whilst you are there look at the megamazing projects from the other ladybugs!! 

I would like to enter these into the following challenges.
