Something a little different

Hello again.. forgot to add this to my last post, sun maybe getting to me..lol, well it's back to work tomorrow after a lovely weekend of crafting and shopping, and only a little bit of H.......W.... which is always the best.

I needed to make something to send to Crafty Ribbons this week and i wanted something a little different, so i came up with this!!

Made my flowers out of the ribbons, just pulled together with a running stitch and then attached them together. used the cuttlebug nesties to cut out the shape on the top. added gems to the scallops and some hat pins with some black beads on. attached my tag, after stamping this lovely sentiment on, with another one of their ribbons, and used this gorgeous Lacey flower ribbon also from them around the middle and tied in a bow. It is amazing what you can do with just ribbons!! i have also sent them two other cards for their ribbon challenge, which i love taking part in.

I am adding this too

Simple doodles.......anything but a card

Allsorts challenge......Tag or label

Ok that's me all done for today, off to have a look around at the latest in blog land, hugs carol x
