WMSC #117, cQc #156, The Pretty Little Ribbon shop..

Hi all, this is my second post for today, if you are looking for my card for The Ribbon Reel Challenge, please scroll down.

I saw the gorgeous colour pallette over at colourQ this weekend, and I just had to play along!
I combined this with the wonderful sketch over at Waltzingmouse Sketch Challenge, and the new challenge at The Pretty Little Ribbon Shop, which is asking for the colours of autumn. Perfect!

And here's my take:

I have made a card using four WMS stamp sets - Compact sentiments, Big Blooms, Text It! and Bountiful Baskets.

I stamped the background using the smaller blooms from the Big Blooms set, stamped in Dried Marigold and Memento Potter's Clay inks to mirror the Dusty Durango and Pumpkin Pie colours.
I then stamped the text panel in Frayed Burlap to mirror the soft Suede colour, and the card base and mats are Rich Razzleberry card. I need to get me some more S.U inks!

I stamped the little WMS basket in Frayed Burlap, and tinted with some antique Linen.

I then stamped some separate little blooms, and cut them out. Arranged these 'in' the basket, and attached to an oval die cut layered onto a scalloped oval.

Inside, I added another piece of the stamped floral background with some white card to write the message. I had a spare little bloom, so added that, and stamped the sentiment in Frayed Burlap using a WMS sentiment.

Finally, I wrapped some two tone hemp for a bit more 'soft suede', tied a couple of bows, and added a pumpkin coloured gem.

I was pleasantly surprised by these colours, I would never have thought to use them together.

Thanks for stopping by,

Pauline
