| Today I have an entry for the Ribbon Reel challenge 14 which is based on the inspiration from this beautiful picture PLUS using turquoise, hot pink and cream. I was at the NEC last weekend so have lots of lovely new goodies to play with and some new ribbons from The Ribbon Reel...here is my take |
It's my big sister's birthday at the end of the month so this card will be finding it's way to Scotland soon, my son thinks it's far too bright, but do I care...NO :-)
The card bank started off life twice the size but that's way too much surface area for a card so I have cut it down, it didn't quite fold in half so I have added the ribbon from my stash to the side. The flowery and blue papers are from the Wild Rose Studios, Cherry Cup Cake paper stack and the swirly paper is from my stash. I have edged them with a border punch by Stampin Up.
For the ribbon banners I have used blue and white stripy ribbon from the Ribbon Reel and the plain blue was commandeered from around someone's birthday cake!!
The sentiment is from an old Hero Arts stamps I have had for yonks which I have stamped onto a shape cut from Nestabilities, then topped with some punched butterflies and a little bit of bling. Finally I have added the flower centres using liquid pearls - my new favourite crafty gismo I bought last weekend.
I'd also like to enter this card into the following challenges:
Craft your days away challenge 33 - embellishment bingo
Colour Create challenge 83 - Turquoise, Deep ping & Ivory
Right, off to rescue my next project that may have gone very wrong due to an air bubble in the glossy accents tube!!
Thanks for stopping by,
