The Ribbon Reel Challenge #5

Hi all, well another two weeks have all but disappeared, and it's time for another challenge from The Ribbon Reel!

Below is the inspiration photo set by Zuzana:


And here is my take:




I decided to try another ribbon flower after my last one was surprisingly easy to do! I have used Plain Pink Twill to make the flower, and wrapped the gorgeous Parrot Green Leaf Trim around the edge, to give a wreath effect.

Added a fabric flower from WH Smith and a pearly brad from stash.


Along the side of the card I have used some White Crochet Lace threaded with some Loop Trim in Celery. I then topped off the lace with some pom pom trim in Avalanche.


I mounted the ribbon flower onto a kraft doily, cut using an MFT die.


Then I stamped in versamark the scroll flourish from Waltzingmouse Stamps Seasons of Love set onto some pale ink polka dot paper from Pink Petticoat. Then stiched the stamped paper onto some kraft card before adhering the ribbon flower. Then mounted onto some cream pearlescent card.

The sentiment is from WMS Fancy Phrases.

Thanks for stopping by, and if you are looking for some more inspiration, pop over to The Ribbon Reel Challenge Blog and see what my fellow DT members have for you today!
We'd love to see you take on our challenge!

Oh my Pauline this flower; wow! It turned out beautiful and it's a brilliant idea to wrap that leaf trim around it; I thought of a wreath the moment I looked at this beauty. Fabulous job!
And everything else on this card; I love it. The trims and the you way stamped the flourish.
Gorgeous!
