Irresistible ~ The East Wind Challenge #10

Happy Canada Day to my fellow Canadians and Happy Birthday to my husband, Steve! Once again this year, Steve has kindly arranged for most Canadians to take the day off...lol. He might even have fireworks near you to help celebrate his birthday.

Since it's July 1, it's also time for a new challenge at The East Wind. The first of the month is our challenge where the entire DT plays with the same image, the freebie that you will also receive if you subscribe to The East Wind newsletter. Our theme this time is Ribbon and the image is called Belle of the Ball. Isn't she pretty? I coloured her with Prismacolor pencils and fussy cut her leaving a narrow white border. I then matted her in black and fussy cut her a second time.

The card itself is very simple. I used a rectangle of Tim Coffey paper matted in black as the background. A length of orange mesh ribbon was layered over a strip of black cardstock and then wrapped to the back. A black satin ribbon with a picot edge was layered over that and tied in a bow. The sentiment which comes from Create With TLC was cut with a Spellbinders Label One die and then matted in black. Both the image and the sentiment were adhered to the background with foam tape. To complete the card, three black enamel dots and some doodling were added.

Thanks so much for stopping by today. I appreciate your interest and support. When you get a minute, pop over to The East Wind blog to see how my talented teamies have used this same gorgeous image. I love how different she looks and the various ways we used her. We're hoping you'll be inspired to play along with us in our Ribbon challenge.

I am entering this card in the following challenges:
