Something fun today and also something that was really hard to fit in a photo. Somehow I couldn't get this to look right, but oh well you get the idea.I've wanted to have a go at making this for a while, but haven't really had the chance.
The alphabet is a fun clear set by Penny Black. I stamped each letter leaving a 1cm gap between each one for the ribbon.
After stamping and colouring I cut a notch at the top of each 1cm space to allow me to wind the ribbon securely.
My favourite character is the owl - looks like I feel today - half asleep!
My ribbon holder fits two challenges ...'Anything but a card' at http://thesecretcraftersaturdaychallenge.blogspot.com/
and (if I am quick) the same challenge at http://artygirlzchallengeblog.blogspot.com/.
The images were coloured using a mixture of Derwent Inktense and Lyra Aqua crayons.

Great ribbon holder but how long will it stay as tidy as that? If you're anything like me - not long. Where are these WOJ sets that are on a great bargain please?

Ann just took at look at your ribbon holder and it's fabulous. Couldn't remark on it while on the phone as I hadn't seen it then but it's really pretty and so much work in it. Well done.
