The Ribbon Reel Challenge # 13

* For my WMS Blog Waltz entry please scroll down.*


Morning all, today brings us another fresh challenge from The Ribbon Reel, and this week we have a beautiful inspiration picture set by Clare Buswell.



A gorgeous picture, I love the poppies here and the fresh colours.



For our challenge this week, I made a card, and started with a white linen card base, distressed with Frayed Burlap and Walnut Stain. I really wanted a kraft base, but I ran out of my kraft card a week ago, and was finding it tricky to get some more! I have put in an order with a well known online U.K. store, but they're out of stock! Grrr!

Thankfully, my local craft shop, Flutterby Crafts came to my rescue this weekend - they have got some new stock in so I bought a whole pack!

But I digress..

So, a sponged kraft base, on top of which I layered some Core'dinations card in a teal colour.


Then I cut some Cosmo Cricket paper in co-ordinating colours, sponged with Distress ink, and layered some scalloped borders and some lace threaded with seam binding on top.


Topped off the corner with a little seam binding bow and peachy rose with some stickles added for some glimmer.


The label is from Papertrey Ink - Button Boutique, stamped in Frayed Burlap Distress ink, and topped with some buttons from stash threaded with some lemon yellow and orange baker's twine from The Ribbon Reel.



Finally added some gems from stash, and mounted the label onto some newsprint patterned paper from My Mind's Eye.
