Tying myself in knots!!
>> Monday 19 January 2009
The theme for this weeks Magnolia vs. Stampavie challenge is 'Bows'. Perfect, I thought, I'll have a go at making a ribbon blossom following the tutorial I spotted at Splitcoast Stampers earlier in the week. Bev made a gorgeous one on her card but mine was an absolute disaster!! It just looked like a cat had got into my ribbon bag and created a knotted tangled mess. Maybe I should have posted a picture on here to give you all a good giggle but I'm really too embarrassed!
I'd kept the layout of my card simple as the bow was going to be the main feature but I settled on a simple bow with a charm instead. My Sarah Kay image is coloured with watercolour pencils, distress inks and H2O's, the paper is Karen Neuburger and the sentiment is from Hero Arts. I've used a sheet of the worded paper inside as well.

Beautiful Sharon with or without the disaster bow LOL! I fancied having a go at one of those too but perhaps I'll leave that for another day. I love your image and your colouring is superb.

Hi Sharon - absolutely gorgeous card - love it. You've coloured the image beautifully and it really 'pops' from the card.
This is the link I got from the Basic Grey challenge (lol) - pop over sometime and put the right link on.
