Whoopsi Daisy - Ribbon and a bow

Good morning lovelies! And thanks so much for your comments about my post yesterday - it was a bit mad I know but it definitely fitted the brief!!! Todays card is much more sedate - its for the new challenge over at whoopsi daisy called ribbon and a bow. Here it is: I've used an image from sheet 451 that you can get here



I've used an 8x8 embossing folder from Crafters Companion (Embossalicious) with pink satin card to create the background. The image was simply coloured with promarkers and cut using a spellbinders die. The corner die is also from spellbinders - as is the sentiment mat - the words are from tattered lace.

I'd like to enter this card into the following challenges:

Crafters Companioncrafterscompanion: Embossing
OSAATonestitchatatimechallenge: Use a digi
PFPpromarkerchallenge: Embossing

sweet stampinsweetstampinchallengeblog - glamour and glitz



Thanks for dropping by today - I've got a busy old day today - I'm running first thing then I've got my crafty ladies at the coffee pot. I'm treating them to stamping on acetate and painting with silkies today - hopefully I'll remember my camera! After that its the usual blogging and housework and then after tea I've got to chair the AGM for the PTA for school - we're going to the pub to hold the meeting. Very civilised. Oh yes - and I need to plan Rainbows for wednesday night - but I suspect I know what we're going to do so that shouldn't be too bad - oh yes and its library book return day! Phew - better get organised!!! Lol!!!!!

Big Hugs and hope to see you again soon!

  13. Sedate - possibly Rachel but of so elegant and oppulent - a real feast for one's eyes. The beautiful colours and all the embossing give this card such a depth of richness and luxury- it's gorgeous and I wish I could run my hand lightly over it to feel all your texture.. I'm suprised you found any time to make this card in the midst of your busy schedule of doing for and giving to others ...Good luck in our challenge this week. Ingrid xx (OSAAT Team)
