Tied Up With A Bow

Hello.
I'm excited to be joining the Allsorts Challenge  today
as a Guest Designer.

This is such a fun and friendly challenge, and I hope you'll find time to play along. 
 Sarah has chosen the theme...

Add a Ribbon or Bow


Ooh, this one had me scratching my head for a while.
I haven't used ribbon on a card for AGES! But when I went digging through my stash I found it all beautifully packed and organised. Go me ! (I've added a pic below to show how tidy and organised I used to be)  :o)

Back to the card.
And I couldn't resist a little box of sweet doughnuts all wrapped with ribbon and a bow.


The doughnuts are stamped and die cut. The sprinkles were added with Copic markers and some glossy accents. Then I added a layer of acetate to my scalloped edge die, and taped ribbon and a bow onto the corners.


Add Ribbon or a Bow



  • the greetery - sweet tooth
  • distress ink - salvaged patina
  • altenew ink - maple yellow / fuchsia
  • pinkfresh studio ink - warm buff / doe / gathered twigs
  • copic markers, glossy accents
  • sentiment - sugar pea designs - summer scoops

Congratulations on being chosen as guest designer. Loving this 'sweet' card with the dotty ribbon which highlights the sprinkles on the donuts.

I think Sarah stretched most of us, but it's good to step away from the comfort zone.

Your card is just perfect and so pleased you joined us as our Guest Designer this challenge, thank you so much.

Brilliant card, Caroline. Those doughnuts look good enough to eat! I’m sat here typing this comment as I’m eating a doughnut with pink icing….. no sprinkles though. 🤣 Lovely to see you as a Guest Designer in the Allsorts Challenge.
