Christmas Lantern

Hi all,

Another message from me after a quite a bit of radio silence, with another Fab 'n Funky challenge themed "Anything with Ribbon". I'm not a big fan of bows on my project, so I tried an alternative way to use ribbon by treating it like another layer on my card and tucking it underneath some paper and as an accent in the corner. This ribbon has been living in my stash ever since I started crafting, so it was good to use some of it up.

If you want to play along, here you can find the link, along with more inspiration how to use ribbon on your projects from my lovely teamies.

Ribbon and Old Lace

Good morning everyone!

A few years back on holiday in Ireland, we went to see a play in Kilkenny called 'Arsenic and Old Lace'. It was hilarious, we were howling with laughter! I later discovered it is actually a movie from the 40s. This great experience came to mind when I saw the theme for this week's Fab 'n Funky challenge "Ribbon & Lace". I'm not much of a ribbon/lace user, so this was actually pretty difficult for me to come up with something fab or funky ;) Let's hope these cupcakes aren't laced with arsenic, that would put quite a dampener on things LOL.

Materials:
* Meljen's Design Cupcake Treat Trio, coloured with Promarkers
* Create & Craft Pastel CS
* Dovecraft Piece of Cake DP
* Computer-generated Hey Cupcake sentiment, Circle sentiment from the Internet (can't remember where)
* Personal Impressions sentiment stamp (inside)
* Pearls, Ribbon & Lace from my stash

Challenges:
* Cupcake Craft Challenges (Cupcakes)
* Meljen's Design Challenge (Anything Goes)
* Addicted to Stamps (Bingo) I've used Glitter, Pearls, No Flowers
* Really Reasonable Ribbon (Anything Goes with Ribbon)
* Daisy Doodles (Birthdays at Christmas)
* Wags 'n Whiskers (Anything Goes)
* Challenges 4 Everybody (Anything Goes)
* Celebrate the Occasion (Anything Goes)
* Elke Kaart een Feestje (Anything Goes)
