I love this orange ribbon - got it from a local shop - no idea who makes it - this was the last bit I had. Used Versacolour paprika on the teacup and tea bag from the PapertreyInk set Everyday classics which was the anniversary set for this year. I know that 'technically' it's a tea bag 'string' and not a tea bag, but in my head it's a teabag! lol. Thought the teabag and cup suited the 'together forever' sentiment, I'm calling it 'formal whimsy!' lol. The swash was from the same set, used it twice, lengthways to give a frame. Stamped it in Versafine smokey grey.
Paired it with a cracking bit of Basic grey Ambrosia paper that I've been wanting to use, the charcole damask and a bit of co-ordinating orange from the same pad - thought it was quite zingy.
Hope it tickles.
Oooh PS - A few lovely people have enquired about subscribing to my blog via feedblitz, the problem is that feedblitz seem to want to charge me for this service and since I do this as a hobby and don't make any money at it, I really can't take it on just at the mo'. Apologies if this makes things awkward for anyone, as I really love to have you visit.
Wow, love that color combo! The ribbon is delish!
ReplyDeleteWOW!!! I love that ribbon, too! So satiny and yummy against the charcoal bg!
ReplyDeleteMy dear Claire, while I don't think you should stop creating, we need to find some kind of solution for keeping my jaw from dropping to the floor whenever I see your projects. You eye is so keen--you see patterns and possibilities that are amazing. I never in a million years would've thought to turn the flourish sideways twice like that. Genius. Thank you for sharing your work. You truly make my day every time I see something you have created. Bravo!
ReplyDeleteI can see why you love this orange ribbon...it's truly divine, as is this entire card. I subscribe to your blog through google reader, which doesn't cost me OR you anything. :) Anytime I look at google reader and see you have posted, I hop right on over to see what delicious goodies you have for me. :) You're just my "cup of tea". :)

ReplyDeleteLove the little tea bag and your creative use of the swirls - wonderful colors on this Claire!
ReplyDeleteVery striking and beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThat orange ribbon is just Stunning!! I really like your design layered on top of the BG paper (which I intially thought you stamped and was racing to see what the stamp was! lol :>). I am anxiously waiting for the anniversary set to arrive so that I can play too! :>
ReplyDeleteWow that ribbon sure makes the card pop huh...the background paper is gorgeous against the orange. Very nice girl!
ReplyDeleteThat is very pretty ribbon. I didn't used to like orange much, but I'm finding that it's really a matter of the shade. I'm finding so many lovely things in orange these days. And don't you love the PTI anniversary set? The coffee cup is one of my faves!
ReplyDeleteLike the idea and the card. I love to look at your blog! Thanks for sharing.
