2. Belles 'n Whistles Challenge - Punches & Ribbon

 

Happy Monday to you all and welcome to our 2. Belles 'n Whistles only Challenge! Just a quick reminder for all of you who don't know yet. Our ROP challenges have been discontinued and we've decided to instead carry our challenges over to the Belles 'n Whistles Blog.They are Belles 'n Whistles only challenges and are WEEKLY now. So you will have the chance to win some BnW goodies now every week..YAY! Isn't that great?

This weeks challenge is hosted by our incredibly talented Andrea. She is challenging us to use Punches & Ribbon! What a fab challenge I had so much fun doing my card as I LOVE ribbons and my punches :-) And what I also love are shaker cards! I'm just not doing them often enough and that's why I decided it's time for one ;-) I used 'Beary Big Hugs' and colored this adorable image with my Copics. To make my shaker card I used a 'Shake it!' pouche lg. circle from Impression Obsession. All the openings were cut out using my Spellbinders and my Martha Stewart Circle Cutter, which I absolutely love btw. I filled the pouch with dew drops and a charm. The punches I  used are from Martha Stewart,Garden Trellies, and EK Success ,Retro Flower punches. DP is from Basic Greys 'Boxer' paper pad. I did not add a sentiment so the card can be used for many occasions. 
The fabulous sketch I used for my card is from this weeks MMSC challenge.










And yes the dew drops are really moving ;-)



And here another shot of the pouch.

I hope you like to join us for this challenge! For all the details on the challenge please visit our Belles 'n Whistles blog HERE. And while you there please visit my DT sisters blogs for some wonderful inspirations and don't forget to leave them some love too!

Thanks for taking the time and visiting me here today. Your comments are really making my day and I  appreciate them so very much! :-)

Love and Hugs,
