The Ribbon Reel #25 - Easter Blues

Morning all, today we have a new challenge from The Ribbon Reel, this week set by Fran. We would like to see your Easter projects using the colours in the photo below, and using ribbon or twine.



For my card I have used a Waltzingmouse Stamps image, and papers from Pink Paislee.


The beautiful blue loop trim and velvet ribbon are both from The Ribbon Reel Shop.




I have coloured the basket full of eggs using promarkers, and mounted onto some aqua Core'dinations embossed with a butterfly design.




I added a sentiment using the Beautiful Blooms dies from PTI, and topped the loop trim bows with prima Say it in Crystals.

Supplies used:

Ribbon: Light Blue Loop Trim, Light Blue Velvet - The Ribbon Reel

Stamps: Spring Baskets- Waltzingmouse Stamps

Ink: Memento London Fog, Promarkers

Papers: Pink Paislee Nantucket stack, Aqua Core'dinations

Other: Prima Say it in Crystals; Cuttlebug Embossing Folder; Beautiful Blooms Dies - Papertrey Ink;


I would like to enter this into the following challenges:

St.Luke's Charity Challenge

Craft Your Days Away

Pretty Little Ribbon Shop Challenge

Paperplay Challenge

Stamptacular Sunday Challenge


Do stop by the D.T for some more Easter inspirations!

Thanks for stopping by,

Pauline
