Well here it is !!!!!

My card for The Ribbon Girls Colour Challenge .

Had to make sure I'd done it this morning before going along to
 Kath's demo at

Simply Create

today--

or she'd have given me a row !!!

(well to be truthful she has been really encouraging)
(I did crochet the flowers myself and think
I might try some in the baker's twine from
The Ribbon Girls )

As usual she gave us an amazing demo day -

with fabulous cards ----

and kept us laughing with her great sense of humour .

And trusty pokey tool in hand !!!

Thank you Kath

and the shop was looking great Jacqui

Loving all the new goodies.

well all I have to do now is work out how to enter the card over at The Ribbon Girls

---maybe will have send an SOS to Kath !!!
