The Ribbon Reel Challenge #18

Hi all, hope you all had a wonderful Christmas, today brings us another challenge from The Ribbon Reel, with the theme of New Years, in White, Cream, Grey, Silver and Black.




For inspiration, I have cased a beautiful card sent to me by my lovely blog friend Sue Lelli, see HERE for Sue's beautiful original.




I have used a white linen card base, and covered the base with some black damask embossed patterned paper. Then taking some cream pearly card, I embossed this with the PTI Linen impression plate, and layered this to the top half of the card.




I then cut 3 doilies using an MFT die, using paper from a Papermania Monochrome pack, and the glittery doily in the middle was from my stash.



I then layered the beautiful grey and black ruffled ribbon, layered together with cream twill and some plain jute twine. Finally I cut a felt flower using dies from Marianne Creatables, and a couple of PTI Tiny Tags, topped with some Prima Say it With Crystals.



Supplies Used:

Stamps: Tiny Tags - Papertrey Ink

Papers: Pearlescent card from stash; Papermania Monochrome stack by Tina Higgins; Glittery paper from stash; Black damask embossed card from stash.

Ribbons: Cream twill, Ivory Button Twine, Satin Black Pleat, Satin Silver Pleat, all The Ribbon Reel

Other: Say it in Crystals - Prima; Tiny Tags Die - Papertrey Ink


Thanks for stopping by, and wishing you a very Happy New Year!

Lovely card Pauline and Merry Christmas!!! I still have your card here for you, I thought you were popping over for the die last week otherwise I'd have put it in the post for you.
