Good morning everyone, we have a new challenge at Allsorts today where Sarah has selected the theme of add Ribbon or a Bow. We have some pretty ribbons, stamps and stencils to give away plus for another winner a digital download from Polkadoodles.
Will confess ribbon's are not something I use often these days although doesn't mean I don't have plenty, but the most use they gets these days is plaiting manes for shows, so Sarah's theme was a good opportunity to rummage.
Daffodils were an obvious choice for a bright sunny card, I have big bag of TRR Spring flowers all cut out and decoupaged ready from my time on their team. In fact the only cutting I had to do was the base layer using the matching outline border die. Some soft stencilling on the background, stamped the A&C words and two ribbons down the edge. Entering Pick 3, Flowers, bright colours, embellishment (ribbons), Fab and Funky Dies and Punches and As you like it Fav colour and why (I love creating with any bright colour, but find yellow so cheery and seems to appear frequently on my makes).
A favourite Andy Skinner stamp called Best Friends, sunray's using a stencil and texture paste, some colouring, sentiment from the same set and remember buying the ribbon years ago in Worthing when visiting one of our Son's and DIL. Hope my Sunshine fits Simon Says Monday Whatever the Weather and Just us Girls Stencils.
We have a new Rudolph Days challenge and being February it's a very short timescale so popping over with the above card using my favourite Lavinia Christmas Fairy Starr, Holly and Winter Berries. Also entering entering ABC Christmas C for Crimson and StarStampz Fantasy.

The daffodil card brought sunshine to a dull morning and the Lavinia card the frosty start to the day my favourite though the beautiful Andy Skinner card
Beautiful daffs; a lovely Andy Skinner image and a gorgeous winter scene using Lavinia stamps . . . all absolutely fabulous. xxx
Great to think that Spring is just around the corner and the daffodils and added ribbon are gorgeous. Also like the Andy Skinner image and of course the Rudolph Days fairy.
Wonderful, Brenda! Love your daffodils! And your Lavinia Christmas Fairy Starr - your coloring is amazing!

Fantastic cards, love the first one as I adore daffs. Hugs Anesha
Beautiful sunny card with the daffs. Your AS stamp looks great against the texture stencilling and the perfect ribbon to complement it. Your Christmas card is so bright and cheery.
Wonderful cards Brenda, love to see the Daffs, they warm the heart with thoughts of days to come. xx
The daffodils glow with such warmth and energy, and the soft stenciled background gives them a lovely sense of movement. The paired ribbons frame the panel beautifully without overwhelming the flowers. The Andy Skinner piece has wonderful depth with the texture paste catching the light, and the ribbon you chose feels like it was made for that design. The Lavinia scene is bright and full of winter magic, and the crimson accents work so well with the fairy and berries.
Three beautiful cards Brenda, love the daffodils (my favourite flower) the image of the girl and dog is so sweet and gorgeous colours on the Lavinia Christmas fairy card (I bought this fairy stamp when it first came out and still haven't used it, must try harder!! Have a good weekend.

All three cards are beautiful, the added ribbons are perfect with the daffodils, love those fresh yellows and greens. The girl and dog is one of my favourite stamps and the fairy- themed Christmas card is so pretty and magical. Hoping March is going to be lovely- dry and sunny!
