Creative Belli Challenge #105- Use something that begins with an ‘R’

The Belli challenge for the next two weeks is to use anything that begins with an ‘R’.  I had a great time going through my stash looking for supplies that would fit the bill.  I ended up creating this card:
CreativeBellianythingstartingwithaR
The Belli premise is to use old and possibly forgotten embellishments- I had fun with ric rac that I purchased a LONG time ago- from the Target $ spot…… I cut a piece to fit my card, and then cut another piece and wound it around itself to create the braided look that I sewed down over a red strip.

keep winding…it may want to twist a touch

  I used an image from SU. The DSP is from My Minds Eye. I added RED cardstock (SU) with my blue sparkly ric rac braid. There is a layer of Soft Sky under that punched with the SU scalloped edge punch.  I colored the image with Copics and used Polar White Flower Soft on the coat trim and the snow. The snowflake is punched in Soft Sky and acetate.  I covered the acetate with Creative Inspirations Paint and added RED rhinestones in the center.  Finally, I added RED thread in a Zig-Zag stitch around the edge of the card. 
(HERE is a tutorial I wrote about sewing on cards.)
Be sure to visit the Creative Belli Design Team Member's blogs to read more details about their designs. You will find lots of awesome ideas!!! If you upload a card to Splitcoast , PCP, Stamp TV or another online gallery be sure to add CBC105 in the keywords section.

Shelly, I love all the R's, but especially the RED! Winding the rickrack together is very clever!

Karen Howard said...

This is really breathtaking! I love the image and soft look! Hugs, Karen

Kathy said...

Wow, I love this. The flower soft is such a sweet touch. I just bought this paper, too and it is one of my faves. The image is darling, and braiding the ricrac is such a great idea, really gives a different look to the ricrac.
