Yeah it's Friday and that means a new challenge at Bah! Humbug! This week we are focussing on ribbons. I think it must be very rare that I make a card without ribbon. My favourite is organza as it always falls so well into bows, whether small or large ones. However, for our challenge I decided to add loads of ribbon bows and make a ribbon festooned Christmas tree.
I must admit I was going to tie little bows myself, but then Laura reminded me that there was a whole pack of tiny ribbon bows unopened in the embellishment drawer so I decided to take the lazy way out and use them. The tree and stand was cut using my Christmas Cheer Cricut cartridge. Oooooooooh just realised that stand could be very useful for my Clarity corset stamp! A panel of Swiss Dots Cuttlebug embossing mounted on silver mirri card and border and corner peel offs finish off my very simple card.
In addition to Bah! Humbug! my card is also for the challenges at...
- A Spoon Full of Sugar - Cute and Girly
- ABC Challenge - Unused stash (the ribbon bows must be years old)

What a wonderfully pretty card Ann. I was going to compliment you on your bow tying skills and patience - but will just have to compliment you on your layout and colour choice instead LOL!

Brilliant card Ann - you've reminded me of our fisr christmas in this house and we'd bought a 3' fibre optic tree because there isn't room for our big one until we get the house sorted. I couldn't get at the decs so decorated the tree with a mixture of tied and stamped bows. It looked very effective too.

Fabulous design Ann. Love all those little bows - such a great way to decorate your tree and I can see where the stand would be very useful.
