The Ribbon Reel - Retro Colours

 Morning all, it's time for a new fortnightly challenge from the Ribbon Reel Challenge. We are being joined this month by the very talented Jeanne Jachna, at  A Kept Life as our August Designer, and she has a stunning card for you all today, pop over and leave her some love!

This week our inspiration has been chosen by Zuzana, with this funky picture:


Zuzana would like us to use these retro style colours, with a flower and ribbon on our creations this week.


I have used the newly released Playful  Pinwheels set from Waltzingmouse Stamps, layered onto a die cut frame, and matted onto some Stampin' Up! card. I stamped the tartan pattern using Offbeat Backgrounds also from WMS, onto a piece of Pear Pizzazz card in Certainly Celery ink, and Weathered Wood Distress Ink.


I added some little punched flowers using a S.U! Itty Bitty punch, and created a little flower using some Aqua pom pom trim from The Ribbon Reel, topped with an S.U! brad.

I topped the larger pinwheel with a punched sakura flower - it has been stamped with Versamark using the blossom from Asian Gardens also from WMS, and punched with a Woodware punch (I think it's by Woodware!) which fits this stamp perfectly!


The little orange grosgrain and blue stripe organic cotton tabs are from The Ribbon Reel shop.

I would like to enter this into this week's Waltzingmouse Sketch Challenge, which this week is designed by Bonnie Sharp.


Do stop by the rest of the design team for some more fabulous inspiration!

Thanks for stopping by today,

Pauline
