TRR #48 - 'Romantic Elegance'

Morning all, today brings us another lovely challenge from The Ribbon Reel Challenge Blog, this week chosen by the lovely Helen. The theme is 'Romantic Elegance', using the colours from this inspiration pic, and to use ribbon and a flower.


I used a sweet image from Wild Rose Studios, 'Feeding Birds' featuring this summery scene, coloured with Staedtler Ergo Soft pencils. I love to colour with pencils, although it's a much slower process than when I use my Promarkers, but I love the soft texture you can get with them.


I layered the image onto some pretty papers also from Wild Rose Studios Bella Papers stack.


I wrapped some White Crochet Lace around the paper panel, along with some Lilac and Baby Pink seam binding all from The Ribbon Reel Shop.


After layering all together I topped the card off with a large double colour seam binding bow and some pretty leafy pins, also from The Ribbon Reel Shop. Finally I added some Kanban pearlescent gems to the card edges.

Do stop by the rest of the D.T for some gorgeous inspiration.

Thanks for stopping by,

Pauline
