The wonderful Crafty Ribbons are our sponsors this month at Stamping Sensations and our challenge theme is 'Anything Goes with Ribbon' - (but don't forget your stamp must be the focal point of your project!).There's no excuse then not to join in this month particularly if you're like me and now in a mad panic about Christmas Cards...
We got a few nice ribbony goodies to play with for this month from the sponsors and I had to steel myself to use a piece!
I struggle a lot making scenes with stamps and ink and deffo need more practice but I wanted to have a go and here is my result.
I embossed a piece of white linen textured card with the random dots folder and wrapped round a piece of the scrummy ribbon and tied into a bow. The sentiment was stamped using Midnight Navy Stazon.
For the scene, I used Mermaid lagoon and Tumbled Glass Distress inks, masking off the moon with a £2 coin!
The trees were also stamped in Navy Stazon and I dragged a little Mermaid lagoon ink at the base of each trunk to give some depth.
Simply cut out with a nestie then finished it all off with a little sprinkling of glitter and a few dots round the 'lights' on the biggest tree - this doesn't show up very well in the photo but I didn't want to overload with glitter - it looks OK I think in real life!

The focal circle is very effective against the snowy embossing Viv and the bow carries the wintery feel perfectly.
Hope you have a good Sunday, keeping it all crossed for a good show later.

Your scene looks marvelous! If you struggled, it certainly did not show in the final result. It's a lovely chill moonlight tree scene, pretty as the circle motif on the pretty embossed background. Great use of your ribbon element too, with this wonderful bow! Good job! TFS & Hugs
I love your beautiful scene Viv, and the overall effect is wonderful :o)

This is beautiful Viv and I love the sky which has little whiter bits which give the impression of clouds, much nicer than a flat colour and the glitter does come through and you are right less is more. The blue bow finishes it so prettily. x
It doesn't look like you struggled, looks fab and so Christmassy.
Love how the masking turned this into an elegant and stunning card. Thanks so much for joining us this time at the Pile it On Challenge, Elizabeth (DT)

Merry Christmas!
