Home Spun

With another lovely inspiration photo over at The Ribbon Reel how could I resist this weeks challenge.

Just look at this gorgeous photo:


and the challenge is to use colours from the photo and to include burlap and ribbon.

Here is my card:


 
I made this card while trying to entertain my daughter on the wii which her grandparents lent her and for a 3 year old she is really good at Just Dance.  But I did get a bit sick of hearing the same song over and over.  Which she is now singing over and over!!




I have used apples as a backing paper rather than a focal point or topper and went for my favourite things, which are paper and organza flowers with just a simple sentiment.  I have added a strip of burlap, some ruffled edged ribbon and a hat pin.

 
Papers and sentiment are Pink Petticoat
Ribbon, hat pin and burlap are all The Ribbon Reel
