Challenge #21- Handmade flowers

Hi everyone! This is my ( Amanda) last week at the fabulous Ladybug Crafts and I had the honor of choosing this weeks challenge! 

My request is to see "handmade flowers" on your card.

 With spring coming up I thought it would be great to see all the talent out there.

 Please make sure you link up below, you could be in the top 3 and be able to grab a banner for on your blog or possibly even win a free stamp! 

Remember, you can use a stamp from any company now so that makes it even easier but who wouldn't want to have another ladybug craft stamp?!  

I also want to thank the ladybugs for making me feel so welcome this past month, I had a great time!

So without further ado .. here are what the DT came up along that theme ..

Totally Ladybug Tuesday - Challenge 20 - Monochrome

Good morning and welcome to this week's Ladybug Crafts Ink Challenge!  Thanks to everyone that entered last week's WOW challenge!

The winners are announced towards the bottom of this post.

This week, we'd like to see your MONOCHROME creations. You can use all the shades you want of just one color. This is a color challenge, not a coloring challenge, which means you are allowed skin and hair color on your image but the whole card must be mostly made of shades of just one color (papers, embellishments...). Black and white are allowed since they can be considered as very light and very dark shades of any color...

Each week, one random winner will win a  Ladybug Crafts Ink stamp of their choosing AND remember, you do not have to use an LCI image (although if you have some, why not give them some love and use them!).  Besides the random winner, we also pick our Top Three!

To get you started here's some inspiration from the DT:

Gaelle

Lisa

Amanda

Pami

 Mary

Pinky

Anita

Michele

Sue

Hayley

Kerry

As promised, last week's winner is:
