Fantastic Ribbons Candy and Upcycled brooches

Image
By sparklingblackrose






Let me start by telling you I have some lovely extra candy for you! The fabulous Fantastic Ribbons Store have given me two rolls of their gorgeous ribbon of your choice to give away to my lovely followers! All I ask is can you display their badge on your blog and link here so we can get the word out, and make sure you are following me then leave a comment on this post :-) I will draw a winner at the end of the month so make sure you come back to see if you have been lucky! 

I have been making some of my Upcycled drink can brooches, what do you think? I just love how delicate they can look after being unattractive drink cans transformed with a bit of effort! They really are my favourite project at the moment, using the gorgeous inks and seeing how the colours mix in front of your eyes :-)



I would like to enter these into the following challenges:
Sir Stampalot Challenge: Whats your Crafty Passion?
Altered Elusions: Anything Goes
Art Impressions Stamps: Use a metal accent
Rubys Rainbow: Emboss it

Thank you for looking and for all your lovely comments :-)
