The Ribbon Reel Challenge # 19



Hi all, today it's my turn to host the challenge over at The Ribbon Reel Challenge this fortnight!
And as it's cold dark and gloomy, I fancied something bright and cheerful to hopefully raise our spirits! So, any shade of pink, and include some polka dots and ribbon/twine in your design.

As I had the sweet PTI Baby Button Bits on loan from the lovely Ruby, and a friend had requested a New Baby card for her new niece, I set to work.



I have used a shaped card base from Craftwork Cards, and layered some pink and kraft bazzill stitched together with some polka dot paper from Wild Rose Studios.

I then cut a white doily using a Cheery Lynn die, and gently went around the edges with my glue pen and added a light sprinkling of glamour dust.

I then layered some pink twill and pink polka dot sheer ribbon underneath the doily before adhering to the card, from The Ribbon Reel shop.

I then stamped the sweet little bear, and coloured with Promarkers.

Finally added the sentiment, a pearly heart and some cream roses and leaves from The Ribbon Reel Shop.


I would like to enter this into the following challenges:

Simon Says Stamp Challenge

Tuesday Throwdown

Really Reasonable Ribbons

Crafty Catz Challenge
