The Ribbon Reel # 36

Hi all, today brings us a new challenge over at The Ribbon Reel.

This week, it's the lovely Helen's turn to choose a theme. Helen has chosen this elegant colour combo of Black, White and a hint of pink, with a vintage theme.

 I had just the right papers in my stash for this, some vintage print adverts paper from Echo Park.


I cut a piece to size, and layered onto some pink Stampin' Up! card, and created a middle panel using the reverse side of the D.P. Over this I added a strip of pink stamped Houndstooth from Waltzingmouse Stamps.


I then cut a scalloped oval doily from MFT, and added some pretty white Cherry Blossoms and large Pink Rose from The ribbon Reel shop. I added a sheer spot bow beneath the rose, also from The ribbon Reel.



Finally I added some glamour dust to the pink rose, and some pink gems to the black label.

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

Pauline
