The Ribbon Reel #31 - Sweet Sparkles

Morning all, it's Monday, and that means it's another new challenge over at The Ribbon Reel Challenge!

This week, the inspiration has been chosen by the lovely Fran, and would like us to use the colours in the picture, and to use sparkle and add a Heart.


I used a stamp from Woodware, and made a sweet Baby card for a girl.


I stamped in a variety of pink inks four different patterns from Waltzingmouse Stamps. I then stamped the image four times, and selected which pieces from each pattern to use - that took me a while lol, I can never make up my mind!


When i had chosen, i stamped the image onto some plain white card, and stuck the pieces done before cutting with a Spellbinders Labels 18 die.


I stamped the hearts from the same stamp set in the patterns, cut our and arranged along the bottom of my card base.

I added two strips of 10mm Pink Striped Grosgrain, and ruffled over the top of this some Faux Silk in Ivory. Then I layered some pink Loop Trim on top. Finally I added some 6mm Ivory Silk Pearl hearts to the little loop bow and small stamped hearts. To add some sparkle, i added some glamour dust to the hearts and the little flowers on the elephant's back and trunk, and just above the ribbon strip.

Do stop by the rest of the design team for some more beautiful inspiration.

Thanks for stopping by,

Pauline
