Ribbon weaving.

Well I have been thinking what I can do for the challenge at

  Less is More..  Monochrome.

Well I had a couple of ideas, but they didn't work...  so back to thinking again... I was sat at my work desk staring into space, when I seemed to be focused on my ribbon holder...

 thats when I thought

weaving

center piece

written sentiment

Simple..

so here is my card, 

 as mentioned above I made this for a challenge.

Less is more Monochrome

I hope it meets the criteria.

I  made the card below for the challenge also but was not happy with the end result, but 

have decided to show as a what went wrong card.

I used paint, to do the shading and then while it was slightly wet stamped my image...not a good idea as it then ran... and looked messy, but then I thought maybe markers would lift it in places... it did look rather nice, but me being me added a little bit more... and this is the end result..

Not 100% happy although it doesn't look too bad like this but when you look closer

you can see the smudginess of it. I also added a little glitter to the leaves which didn't work as planned either.

Must be one of them days.. I do get them every now and again were everything I try just does not seem to want to work right.

Anyway its time I got myself ready to pick Hannah up from school, and see how her test went.. I couldn't get out of her what test she had this morning..just she has a test.. will see if she can tell me on the way home.

Thanks for stopping by even though its a bit of a dreadful post with what went wrong !!!
