Blame it on the Unloved Ribbon.
I saw Beate’s Colour Inspiration #23 & thought I’d give it a go. To be honest, I’m not all that happy with it. It’s the mix of patterns, colours, well, I don’t know what happened. I did my best to mirror the inspiration photo. I also thought I’d try to use an Unloved Ribbon, I’ve had in my collection. I’ll blame it on the ribbon.
Beate’s Inspiration came from CB2, here:
Here’s the card. It’s nutty, I know, it’s the stripes, mixed with the circles. Why does it work in the inspiration & not the card? Ah well, I gave it a go. When I saw the photo, I saw circles with brown & green … hey I have a ribbon like that. Hmm maybe this is why I don’t use the ribbon too often.
Used: Say It With Scallops, Square Scallop Punch, Green Galore Textured CS, some crazy ribbon I bought at a Michaels Clearance event,PP from Chatter Box, Scrapbook walls: 2 sided Light Den Stripe, Certainly Celery Marker, Certainly Celery Ink, Martha Stewart Pearl Stickers.
I’m off to see what others at SCS have done with this photo & see how to do it right.













Thanks so much for playing! I love the top part. The pearls and the sentiment block. I love the striped paper.
Hugs and smiles
