The Ribbon Reel, & a Sad Farewell..

Good morning all,  it's a new challenge over at The Ribbon Reel Challenge today, chosen by me! I have chose the theme of Rainbow colours - I saw this fab pic on Pinterest and I just loved it!

I can't wait to see what you all create, as this is a bit of a sad day for me - this will be my last challenge here at The Ribbon Reel as a designer. I am starting a new job in a week's time, and I know that I will not have as much time to devote to my hobby of crafting as I have done, so I made the sad decision to step down. I will hopefully still be able to participate in the challenge, and will certainly stop by my old teamies to see their inspiring work. I just want to thank Keilly for giving me the chance to join her fabulous team, my very first Design Team, and for providing such wonderful inspiration to us all.

 This beauty is for you Keilly:

I had this gorgeous image Butterfly Fairy printed out from A Day For Daisies for a little while, and hadn't yet used. So, I spied her today, looking at me me reproachfully, and I thought, yes, a rainbow fairy!

I coloured her with Promarkers, and layered her onto a couple of Spellbinders die cut doilies. I then wrapped some Celery Green Stripe Grosgrain and some (slightly obscured!) Guipure Lace from The Ribbon Reel shop around some embossed framed Crumb Cake card.

I then added a mixture of flowers. The Yellow Hybrid Tea Roses , Violet Cherry Blossom and Red Roses are from the Ribbon Reel shop. The blue roses, pearl beads, resin flowers and gems are from my stash. The little leaves are a Spellbinders die cut.  I added some Leaf Pins and a Natural Button Twine bow, both from The Ribbon Reel shop. Finally I added some glamour dust to the lovely image and the flowers, and the sentiment from Uniko Studios.

Do stop by the rest of the Design Team,

Thanks for stopping by,

Pauline
