TRR #57 - Picnics

Hi all, today I'm back with a card for our new challenge over at The Ribbon reel Challenge Blog. This fortnight, Helen has chosen the inspiration of Picnics - and this gorgeous picture. So use the colours in the photo, and lace, ribbon, twine and flowers in your creations for this challenge.


I have used some lovely papers from My Mind's Eye as the background for my card, they are so summery and perfect for this chgallenge! I layered this panel onto some Sno cone card from MFT, and my card base is in Natural card stock also from MFT.


I cut a pink doily using an MFT die, and cut some roses in Sno Cone felt and Royal Rose dies from MFT. I stamped the basket image from Waltzingmouse Stamps onto some wood effect paper from MME.


Under the doily, I layered some blue wired Slik Crush ribbon, and on top of this, I layered some Pink Gingham Check, and Ivory Crochet lace, all from The Ribbon Reel Shop.


I added a gingham bow, topped with a Button Twine bow, also from The Ribbon Reel Shop. Finally I added some beads to the flower centres and the bow for a little shimmer.

Thanks for stopping by today,

Pauline
