Ribbons at Creative Inspirations

Good morning lovelies - how are you today? I hope you are well and happy. Big hugs going out to you if you're not! My visit to my mum and dads was a short one yesterday - I ended up taking my mum off to a new exercise class so that curtailed the visit. My dad is getting increasingly confused which is a worry - I take him up to the memory clinic in Lancaster tomorrow so hopefully we'll get some answers soon. Chin up mum - we'll be alright! xx

Today there is a new challenge starting at Creative Inspirations - the theme this week is ribbons.
All you need to do is include Ribbons on your creations!

This week's prize is from CRAFTY RIBBONS and they are giving the winner this gorgeous bundle of cake themed ribbons!



Here's what I did following the Ribbon_Technique from the lovely Sue Wilson:




Sue tends to use a ribbon that is differently coloured on either side and \i think the effect is much better like that - but you have to use what you've got and this was what I had. The technique was very simple - you'll find it on tomorrows card too - very therapeutic!!!
The stamps I used are from paperartsy - Jofy set 10 - I bought them at thatcraftplace. I've coloured them with speccies.

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

Incy Wincy:incywincydesigns Floral Frenzy
MAWTTmovingalongwiththetimes: Card for a female

I'd also like to enter this into the craftyribbonschallenge dt-call

Hope you have a great day and thanks for dropping by - I think I've solved my commenting problem so if I've been absent for a few days I should be returning again very soon!

Big Hugs

Rachel xx

    I love how you folded the ribbon. Or did it come that way? Either way, it is a great look.

    Thanks for joining us at Incy Wincy Designs. Good Luck.
