Ladybug Love Card

I made this card for The Pixie Cottage's Challenge # 53!

The challenge this time was a sketch and / or "who do you love?" theme.  I chose mostly the sketch, but combined it a little with the theme too, except I didn't include any sentiments as to who the card is for.

This is a very red and very hearty card. :D

I smudged the whole background of the card (as well as the circle that I cut out from white card stock, as well as the tiny square on the bottom right corner and the hearts on the top left corner), with red pencil shavings.  I inked ALL the edges with red ink too.
The ladybug image is a freebie that I got somewhere on the net providing free 3D decoupage images.  You can see the 3D here:

I cut out 3 little hearts with my Fiskar's shape cutter goodie - I smudged them all, inked the edges of 2 of them and added glitter to the edges of the third one which I 3D mounted:

I also added glitter around the hearts of the main image:

I 3D mounted a small soft blingy heart at the bottom of the card. Underneath I layered red textured paper (the same that I used for the square under the main image), and glued a smaller square of white card stock over that after inking the edges and smudging it too.

Lastly I added some red sequins around the card - I don't have any red blings in my stash...yet.

And that's that. :D
