The Ribbon Reel Challenge #9

Morning all, today brings us another bi-weekly challenge from The Ribbon Reel Challenge Blog.

This week, it's my turn to choose a theme for our challenge, and I have gone with a colour challenge inspired by the photo below of plum, silver/grey with a touch of green.




For my card I have stitched a grey card panel stamped with a knitted pattern in Versamark and distressed with Antique Linen and Frayed Burlap Distress Inks, onto a purple card base.



Then using a variety of background stamps onto some white and green card, stamped some backgrounds and punched 9 squares using a 2" square punch. The text stamp I used on the green card was embossed in silver powder. I then distressed all the squares with ink and scissors, then stitched around all the edges with grey thread.


Using a star stamp from Waltzingmouse Stamps, clear embossed onto some matt silver card from Papermania, and cut using Nestabilities Stars. Distressed all the edges with scissors and some green chalk ink.


Added a distressed disc of purple pearlescent bazzill, embossed in black powder with a sentiment from Waltzingmouse Stamps, and added some green gems to the sentiment disc and to the green stamped panel in the bottom right corner.


Finally added some purple and grey seam binding bows and some plum bakers twine couple with a purple rose, all from The Ribbon Reel Shop.
