STILL AROUND

Hi, sorry I haven't been around for quite sometime. I just haven't had anything to share as I have carpal tunnel in both my wrists. Today I do have something though. Many months ago I was asked to design a card for The Ribbon Girl, what an honour, and here it is!
 
 
I have used white crazy mesh, 22mm flat lace white scallop, 38mm blue silky crush ribbon,
dragonfly charm, rose and pearl organza, beaded clear crystal leaves,

and liquid pearls, all of these products are from The Ribbon Girl.
 
Check out The Ribbon Girl BLOG for more inspiration and lots of fun giveaways.
