Ribbons, brads and pearls oh my!

First of all, I want to thank Irina and the DT from La-La Land Crafts for choosing me as one of the winners of last week's challenge - distressing! It was great to try a new technique and get recognition for it. I really appreciate their comments, as well as those from people who took a peek at my card. Click here to see the card I created that landed me in a tie for third place!

Now on to this week’s La-La Land’s challenge!

This week's challenge is all about embellishments. Use three of your favorite embellishments in your entry.

I have sooo many embellishments in stock. From ribbon to brads, I pretty much take up half of my workspace storing those items. It was good to use some of my embellishments for the challenge. Below is my entry:




Meet Fairy La-La! I had so much fun coloring her! Here are the Copic colors I used:

BV00 and BV04 - wings
BV04, BV08 - hair
B12 - dress, shoes, Fairy La-La's eyes
E00, RV02 - face
Y17 and At You Spica gold - star on wand

I used some pop-up dots to stick her to the card.

The 5.5x5.5 card I made was using black cardstock from my stash, Bazzil Bling purple cardstock and some washi paper that I have a ton of. Purple brads are from my stash. The adhesive black ribbon is from Creative Imaginations. The pearls are from Hero Arts.

I LOOOOVE the window die cut my co-worker cut, using her Cricut machine. This window die-cut is from the Lyrical Letters cartridge. I didn't want to get the cartridge at first because I have so many font cartridges. But after my co-worker showed me the booklet with all the different shapes the cartridge also featured, I had to have it. :)

Thanks for stopping by!

Hugs,
