Simply Stampin' Week 65

The challenge this week on Simply Stampin' is another colour combination and the only one I had was the bashful blue so I've substituted another SU green and soft suede - the white was easy of course.
Backing paper is from Funky Hand and is a piece left over from a recent project and luckily it seems to be a good colour to go with the challenge ones.   I used some scraps to stamp and punch a bird on a branch and some little flowers, cut a Top Note in soft suede and used a Nestability die to cut a bashful blue layer which was embossed using a Crafts Too folder.  The bird and leaves were popped onto a white oval.  The sentiment was built up from various stamped and punched shapes (all SU) and I just had to use a piece of the gorgeous pleated ribbon and a few pearls.

    Beautifiul layering on that sentiment panel - that's a design all on its own with the backing paper & the pleated ribbon. The neatness of your pleated rbbon is a joy to behold (hmmm- perfectionist imp is dozing contentedly on my shoulder after seeing it in her favourite colour like this).

    This is lovely Val. Beautiful colours and that little bird is really sweet. I do like the way you layer your different shapes and agree with Paula ...... that ribbon pleating is so neat. I'd have to tack it and then stitch it to get it that neat, lol!

    Those colours do work really nicely together - what did we do before all the SU products? Glad you're still going with the scraps!
