Hi everyone,

I am delighted to be a guest designer at Crafting by Designs this challenge! They have a wonderful challenge blog with weekly AND monthly challenges! This week's challenge is to use ribbon, easy huh?

I have made this card for my darling daughter's 14th Birthday this weekend, I hope she likes it. I think she gets a little bored of me always saying "do you like my new card I made?" and she'll often tease me and say "oh no, that's ugly, really, that's not cute at all", isn't she a meanie hehe?

I have distressed all the edges and someone asked me the other day what mediums I use - I always colour with copics unless I say otherwise. I have used pearl flourishes from my company Flourish with a Bling. The gorgeous fairy is from Crafts and Me, she is the creation of Hannah Lynn who has the most fabulous images ever! I have created a few more cards using some newly acquired Hannah Lynn images, will post them within a couple of weeks.
