DCM 'The Thrill Of It All'

It's Friday and time for another challenge over at Daring Cardmakers.  It's Leo's turn to set the dare the challenge and she would like you to incorporate some kind of frill on your card. 

It could be a frilly embellishment or background or maybe a stamp you have that would work. Anything that's fun and frilly! 

Here's my card.....

I already knew that I would do a ribbon frill / pleat of some kind as soon as I saw this challenge.  I bought some new papers recently so had a look through to see what caught my eye and found some beautiful MME Meadow papers.  I loved the fresh spring colour and added a white layer to add some contrast between the patterned paper.  

To keep this crisp and clean look, I printed a butterfly sentiment from Pink Petticoat.  The butterflies are cut with my PTI die using the same Meadow papers.  

After playing around with the layout for a little while, I decided to add my frill / pleat ribbon to the bottom of the card and layer the butterflies fluttering from it.  To finish I added some pearl hearts to the centre of each butterfly.

TRR Challenge #40 'Over the Rainbow'

Welcome friends to another fun fortnightly challenge at The Ribbon Reel!  It's Pauline's turn to host this week.


Pauline has chosen this bright and beautiful inspiration photo .....

and ask that you create a card / project with all the COLOURS of the RAINBOW,
plus RIBBON & TWINE in the photo.

Here is my card...

 

I decided to checkout Pinterest for some 'rainbow' inspiration and found so many beautiful cards.  I decided to use strips of ribbon on this card, of course in the colours of the rainbow.

I'm lucky enough to have a huge selection of ribbons at my fingertips to choose from.  I decided to use a different type ribbon for each colour.  I managed to use 12 different types; red pom pom trim, red twill, orange mesh, orange mini ric rac, yellow gingham frill, yellow burlap cord, celery green stripe twill, green grosgrain, blue satin, blue velvet, purple gingham, purple stitch grosgrain.  

I created a quick flower from the yellow gingham ruffle ribbon and added a a red tea rose and light violet cherry blossom, along with a blue candy stripe button and red polka dot button.  The card looked a bit bare in the middle so I decided to add a kraft butterfly using my PTI die.  The sentiment is also from PTI.
