I will, again, share an old make - and then, ask for your challenge. If you have played this game before you will know I require you to suggest 3 things that I have to craft with. Anything!! If I don't own it, then I will improvise - but I do like a proper challenge, so be as creative/mean as you want. I do love this game - can you tell!!
Now, the flashback Friday card:
I think I made this card for Cardmaking and Papercrafts Magazine, to show different ways of working with ribbon. This is beautiful ribbon, known as Silky Crush from May Arts - and another one I will have on my web site when it's up and running again. I say Sue Wilson do this technique first. It's so very easy, and effective.
I cut a piece of card in a very dodgy looking circle, and covered it with strong double sided tape. I then rolled a little of the ribbon in the centre, and began rolling the ribbon around as I worked to the outside of the circle. I folded the ribbon in half, and scrunched it a little, to give texture. These are handy to make in bulk so they are ready when you need a pretty embellishment.
That is my card for Friday.
All the projects, even the flashback ones, will be going up for grabs, when I end the countdown. Apart from an obvious couple that is. I have already decided 5 people who have signed up to follow my blog, will be put into the draw. I think 5 more cards will be given to someone who has done one of the techniques I have shown over the past blog postings. I will give a call for people to send their photo's in, and I will share them all on Facebook - then 5 people will be selected to win. Have a nosy at my blog to see which techniques I may be looking out for :)
Right, bedtime I think. Goodnight ladies and gents, sleep well xxx

Beautiful card and I really love those roses. Have tried to make them but let's just say they didn't look like roses! Agree with Linda that it would be great to have you do a tutorial on them. Tho I'm not sure there may be one on Sue's blog.
ReplyDeleteThink you must be crazy to want the most difficult things we can think of because you like the challenge but then you do have amazing talent and the crazy should be changed to crafty.
Kebab sticks,alcohol inks,cork
