TRR #50 - Mix & Match

Hi all, I'm here today with another new challenge for The Ribbon Reel Challenge Blog.
This fortnight we have the inspiration from Michelle, and she asks that we Mix & Match our patterned papers using 2 Patterned papers with one Solid colour.


I used some gorgeous papers from Authentique that I got a couple of weeks ago, and this was the perfect excuse to break them out!


 Very simply, I used two co-ordinating patterns from the paper stack, and created a smaller panel with half patterned and half plain pink card.


 I covered the join with some of my favourite ribbon - Chevron Stripe, this one in black. I edged the chevron ribbon with Charcoal Grey Seam Binding, and topped with Cotton Candy Pink Bakers Twine all from The Ribbon Reel shop.

I added a pretty floral border and dotty swag using Bordering on Romance stamp set from Stampin' Up!, and added a Hybrid Tea Rose in Off White/Pale Pink and a Bakers Twine Bow, also from The Ribbon Reel.


Do stop by the rest of the Design Team for some more fabulous inspiration!

Thanks for stopping by,

Pauline
