This weeks Penny Black's challenge is a colour scheme - pink and brown. Great - I love brown with all pastels and especially pink. I used core-dinations cardstock and Basic Grey Sugared paper. I machined round the edges of the core-dinations and lightly distressed the edges. I used pastels to colour the 'Buzz in the Air' image and matted and layered in onto three layers of cuttlebugged circles. I used three layers of ribbon - broad white satin, pink spotted grosgain and a thin white satin which I left on the top. I'm not sure about this and would greatly appreciate suggestions.

This is a delightful card! I love the colors! There's no way I can make any sort of judgement call on the ribbon! I'm super duper new to card making, so I always love the inspiration from everyone elses!!!
ReplyDeleteKudos Lorraine for being honest, I think it's refreshing! I always wonder what little things could be improved in my crafts!
I really like the ribbon thing you've got going on, anything a little unusual gets a thumbs up in my book! xx
