Before we get onto my card for this week's Totally Ladybug Tuesday, thanks to all those queries wondering if I'm ok as I haven't been blogging recently - you lot are a bunch of caring sweeties! I got called away on some business travel and, boy, did I miss my crafting - I took some craft mags with me, but that just made me want to create even more, lol!! I have got lots of ideas though so expect a flood of creativity this week!
So, onto this week's TLT! Anita is challenging us to use ribbons - I was very excited to see this one as I've been dying to do a weaving technique for ages! I also wanted to create a more muted, sophisticated Nikki so NO glitter! Kerry won't be happy, she's such a glitter babe ... but I will risk her wrath! So here is my card...
Now this is an easy peasy challenge so I am expecting all of you to be able to submit a card! You don't have to use a Ladybug Crafts Ink stamp so no excuses!! If you don't yet have one of Kerry's cute and sassy stamps, you can buy them here and you can get 15% off if you buy by the end of November including the new release we showcased last week - what a bargain!
Take a stroll over to the challenge blog and see the other DT inspiration there - it's amazing how different we used our ribbons!
I am entering this card into the following challenges:
Paper/cardstock: Bazzill cardstock, BasicGrey Mellow paper pack
Stamp: Ladybug Crafts Ink Handbag Nikki (you can buy her here)
Mediums: Copics, Distress Antique Linen Ink
Accents: ribbon from stash, American Crafts rub on sentiment
Tools: Nestabilities dies

ReplyDeleteYour card is amazing as usual, Mary! I love the weaving.
I love this (though not sure I'd be able to resist adding glitter somewhere lol)
ReplyDeleteThat weaving is so cool, definitely going to have a go of that again not done that in about 10 years lol. Love the Autumn colours too

FABULOUS, love all your layers.
ReplyDeleteHa ha, you do realise you'll be facing Kerry and "the" whip this week lol!!! I hope she doesn't notice (just say I pinched your share this week as mine was filled with it (and Tams' was too) so you might be safe!)
ReplyDeleteI've done some ribbon weaving on a scrapbook layout and love the effect. I nearly nearly did this for my card this week went with my rose idea instead :)
I love Nikki in the muted Autumnal colours

First you pinch my idea Mary J then NO glitter...might just have to re-assess your position at LCI rofl! My card wouldn't have looked have as flabulous as yours anyway. I just love the muted colours. Gorgeous as always xx
