So here is the fabulous colour inspiration pic, this week provided by Ruby McGuire from Ruby Two Shoes:
They make me want to emigrate to a French gite, and sip red wine with a fresh baguette!
And here is the sketch inspiration from Waltzingmouse Sketch Challenge - this makes me want to hang out the bunting! Royal Wedding Fever is taking hold of normally sane folks - Kate Middleton is a local girl, and I quite often see the paparazzi camped outside her parents house as I take my daughter to her riding lesson, not to mention the mini coaches of tourists going through, there's nothing to see really, it makes me laugh! - but thankfully I am decamping to my in-laws in Southampton on the Wedding Day - the men don't want to watch the ceremony, so myself and MiL will watch and raise a glass, while the men and (possibly kids!) go off for a walk in the forest.
And here is my take:
I have used different coloured ribbons in blue purple and lilac, and cut them to different lenths, attached them to a length of blue floss and decorated with an assortment of velvet ribbon, pearls, buttons and gems.
The panel is edged in Dusty Concorde Distress ink.
The sentiment is from Waltzingmouse Stamps Fancy Phrases set, a fabulous and versatile set that I use a lot.
I love this card, it's so bright and fun, and the sentiment is suitable for a lot of things.
I'm entering this card into the following challenges:
