TRR #56

Hi all, it's time for another fab challenge over at The Ribbon Reel Challenge Blog! This week, Lenet is the hostess, and look what she has chosen for us:

Such pretty colours! Lenet asks that we use the colours from the photo, and include a flower and ribbon on our creations. Edited to add: Oops - Also include some lace, which I have forgotton!

I had the (new!) perfect paper stack to use for this challenge by Prima called Hello Pastel. I also got the washi tape to match too, but I never know how best to use it. Will save the washi for a rainy day!

I have made a card for one of the mums at school, she is also one of our neighbours' daughter - she has recently been diagnosed with Bowel Cancer, at the very young age of 36.  She has 4 children, one is only 6 months old, so this was a bolt from the blue for her and her family.

I really want to cheer her up, as her treatment is very unpleasant, and I thought this fun label from Waltzingmouse Stamps was perfect.  Teamed with these pretty papers, I hope it does cheer her up.

I cut two chevron strips using my new PTI Chevron die, layered the papers, stamped the sentiment onto some of the patterned paper from the stack and added some Sheer Pink Ruffle Ribbon and Teal Baker's Twine from The Ribbon Reel. The gems and little blue rose are from my stash.

Do stop by the rest of the D.T for some more pretty pastel inspiration, hope to see you at the Challenge!

Thanks for stopping by,

Pauline
