Ribbons and Bows

Hello friends and welcome on this lovely Monday morning. Lovely because I should be at work but it is a Bank Holiday here in the UK  so that means a short week for me!! Hurrah!!

I have a little bit of Christmas to share with you today, it is my inspiration for the new challenge


An easy peasy theme this time Anything Cute with optional Ribbons and Bows.



Ha ha I have just realised that you can see my reflection in the mirror board...how funny!!

My base started with a Bright Rosa die set upon which I popped a sweet Heather Ellis digi, coloured with Promarkers. My nod to ribbon is the sweet seam binding bow. 

That's all for now folks, I hope that you have more crafty time than I do at the moment and will join us with your Christmas cards.

See you later in the week xx

This is so beautiful with that big snowflake die, stunning image and love the most gorgeous colours. x

That dies makes a super focal element Sarah and the little image is very sweet alongside it.

You asked about the 3D effect on my last card, pure chance as it happens but something I will try and replicate, I moved the stencil by accident when adding the second colour and got the halo effect.

Very sweet, I really must get a move on with my Christmas cards, I usually have a few in the box by now but its remarkably empty!
Have a great holiday, the sun is shining here and farmers being farmers the locals are complaining that the silage is drying up before their eyes! Must admit the lawn is brown and after a week still not ready for a cut!. :)

This is super cute, Sarah! Even cuter with you captured in the mirror card! What a great huge snowflake that is. The silver was a brilliant choice, as was the edging and sweet bow sediment!
