Reeling in the ribbon

As often is the case, I'm doing a card for Daring cardmakers t the last minute - this is for this week's (just!) 'reeling in the ribbon', which is being sponsored by The ribbon reel.

The background paper is a piece left from making a Christmas card earlier in the day - although it's Christmas paper I think it works perfectly OK for a general card.

The challenge is to use:

Two items of ribbon/trim/twine
One or more buttons
At least one heart element

So I've used a piece of my sparkly, beady flower and leaf ribbon on top of a piece of wide sparkly red ribbon. The image is one from a Kanban set of Cavendish ladies day at the races, coloured with copics.

This was difficult to photograph because of he foiling and shine on the background paper, but you can just about see the scattered punched red foiled stars down the lefthand side. The four flower buttons finish off the card.


I'm also linking this for:

Stampavie 129: monochrome
Stampin' B 98: monochromatic card
Challenge up your life 37: tone-on-tone/monochrome
PaperPlay 7: add shine

I am celebrating with some candy - you can read about it and sign up here
