STAMP: Whiff of Joy - 'Willow in the Summer Breeze'
PAPERS: My Mind's Eye 6 x 6 Pad - 'Nutmeg'
FLOWER: Prima Dollhouse Collection - 'Goddess'
GEMS: Hero Arts Pearls and Gems - 'Sunshine - Mixed Accents'
I have loads of Organza Ribbon in my stash which I never use mainly because it scares the heck out of me and I never know what to do with it ... but... as this was the perfect colour... - I looked over the wonderful tutorial that Jules did on ways of using ribbon. I was quite pleased with how it turned out... :-))
The frame is a Nellie Snellen Die Cut.
I've paper-pieced the lovely Willow using paper from the Nutmeg pad. I know that I do loads of paper-piecing but I love how you can make it tone with the whole card. Skin, Hair and Shoes are coloured with Promarkers. I also masked and dusted around the image with Tim Holtz 'Wild Honey' Distress Ink.
Quite a simple card but hope you like it...
I would like to enter this card into the following Challenges:-
Bearly-Mine - Challenge 42 - 'Ribbons and Bows' ends 9th July 2012

Hope you are all staying safe in this awful weather...
Off to get something to eat and then watch Jesus Christ Superstar... I'm not sure about the judges though... hope they don't annoy me too much LOL

Hi Sue, What a wonderful card - I love the Gold theme:) She looks beautful and her paper pieced dress looks perfection, love the orgnza ribbon too, looks lush! I am glad you're feeling better - but perhaps not when you watched Jesus Christ Superstar...I missed it, but perhaps that was a good thing - I am now wondering who the judges were (so off to have a look!) It's pouring down again :( Really hard! Big Hugs, Teresa xxx
