The Ribbon Reel #29

 Good morning all, today brings us a new challenge over at The Ribbon Reel. This week it's the lovely Helen's turn to choose the theme, and has asked that we create something with a Die-cut/punch, flowers, ribbon/twine and use the colours in the inspiration pic of Coral, Blue and Green.

For my layout inspiration, I have used this week's sketch from Waltzingmouse Sketch Challenge.

I have used an easel card base from Craftwork Cards, and some pretty papers from My Mind's Eye, Miss Caroline Howdy Doody stack. I LOVE these papers, especially the lacy motif paper I have used here for the top part of the easel card, so pretty! I need to get some more!

I took my inspiration for my card direct from the pic, and wanted to create a little pot with a big coral flower! I only really could think of one stamp that would fit the bill, and that was Roses in Bloom from Waltzingmouse Stamps!

I have used a die cut Spellbinders heart shape for my focal point rather than a rectangle, and split the sentiment to go inside the base of the easel card.

I ruffled some Sheer Ruffle Edge green ribbon, and wrapped some ivory button twine around it both from The Ribbon Reel, and attached to the top base of the card.

The sentiment is from Waltzingmouse Stamps Compact Sentiments.

I created a rolled crochet lace flower using May Arts Watermelon Crochet lace, and added some Celery Loop trim both from The Ribbon Reel.

The beautiful rose image, leaves and cup are from Waltzingmouse Stamps Roses in Bloom and Afternoon Tea Sentiments sets. I coloured the rose, cup and leaves with Promarkers and some of my new Flexmarkers.

I layered the lace flower onto a small doily, and picked out some detail with a peachy Promarker in Oatmeal.

Finally I added some Prima Say it in Crystals, some Craftwork Cards Candi Dots, and some punched flowers.
