The Ribbon Reel Challenge #3

Hi all, well two weeks have flown by, and it's that time again for a new challenge from The Ribbon Reel Challenge.

This week for our challenge we have a wonderful sketch set by Clare Buswell at Clare's Creations.

I have kept it simple, sticking to the clean lines of the sketch, and using my favourite Waltzingmouse Stamps. So here's our sketch set by Clare:

And here's my take:


I was inspired by the beautiful ribbon pack sent to us by Keilly (owner of the Ribbon Reel shop and challenge) and also by a recent perfume purchase - Daisy by Marc Jacobs. I love the packaging of this perfume, clean and simple, elegant and grown up and simply gorgeous! So armed with the gorgeous champagne coloured ribbons and lace, I chose to make a card in black gold and cream, with lots of embossing a la Daisy!

I have stamped the beautiful border from Victorian Frippery several times in Versamark and embossed in gold and black embossing powder. Then hand trimmed and layered all together. It actually began with 4 strips of the border, but it was too big, so I had to cut it down a bit to get it onto a card!


Then on top of the borders I layered some gorgeous Stripy Twill and beautiful Guipure Lace from The Ribbon Reel.


I then stamped and gold embossed the large doily from Dainty Doilies Large and hand trimmed - I need to get some large scallop nesties lol!

Then layered this onto some black card and gold glittered scallopped card both cut with nesties.



Stamped and gold embossed the greeting from Fancy Phrases and again cut with nesties.

Finally mounted onto a piece of the glittery gold cardstock, and wrapped some Silky Wired Crush in champagne and tied a big bow.



Finished off the inside with some cream cardstock stamped with the corner doily image from Dainty Doilies Large, and the same sentiment.
