The Ribbon Reel #59 Chevrons & Flowers

Did you have a good weekend?  I had a little time alone - the boys went fishing, my daughter was working and so it was just me!  I have to admit I turned off the computer for some serious quiet time and I got so much done.  I did some "back to school" shopping - my son needed new running shoes, and we talked a bit about having a "pasta party" for the team.   

It's time for another two week challenge from the Ribbon Reel.  This one was chosen by Michele Bala and wow is it ever a good one!  I love how trendy it is with the chevrons that are so popular right now.  And who doesn't have a flower stamp??  You are instructed to use the colors in the photo include chevrons, flowers and ribbon.  I practically replicated the inspiration photo - but you don' t have to - let it inspire you with the color or pattern.  I am so glad I finally got to play around with this flower set from PTI.  I bought it a while ago and hadn't had a chance to get it inky yet.  It was lots of fun dipping into the different colors and figuring out which ones I wanted to layer and the different combinations for the flower centers. 

I used this pretty sheer, ruffle edge black ribbon from May Arts.  It is 5/8" and so easy to tie in a bow because it's sheer and not bulky.

If you need a little more inspiration check out what the rest of the design team did.
