Ribbons and bows

Hello lovely people,

Since I have also posted a tutorial today I will try to keep this post short and sweet!  We have a new challenge at Totally Gorjuss and our nice easy theme this week is...
Bows
I love to use ribbon and twine on my cards so this was never going to be a problem for me :-)
I thought that using 4 squares of card to make a patchwork-ish background was a really good idea until I had to line them all up; I think I got them straight and even in the end!


I kind of kept with the theme idea for the image as I have used Ribbons Fairy from Saturated Canary.  The super talented Krista has just released a whole load of utterly gorgeous fairies and I think I might have to buy the rest before long!


Card recipe;
DP: Maja Designs - Vintage Spring Basics
Fancy edge: Martha Stewart edge punch
Seam binding / pearls / button twine: Wild Orchid Crafts
Button: from stash

Copic colours;
Skin: E0000/000/00/51 & R30
Hair: E42/43/44
Dress: BV0000/000/00/01
Wings: RV0000/000 & BV0000/000
Leaf: G40 & YG61/63 & G94


I would like to enter this card in the following challenges;
1.  Saturated Canary (winged things)
2.  Bunny Zoe (bingo - button/sparkle/pearls)
3.  Copic Marker Europe (favourite colours - lilac/green)
4.  'ABC' (lots of layers)

Please do head over to Totally Gorjuss to see what the rest of the Gorjussettes have created.

Thanks for visiting,

Hugs,
