Morning everyone! It's a new challenge from those lovely ladies over at AS YOU LIKE IT and this time your choice is RIBBON OR LACE.
Whichever is your favourite, please remember that you must tell us why, otherwise you may not be considered for the Top 3/Winner slots.
Most people know that I consider ribbon to be the frippery of the Devil, and if I am honest, lace isn't far behind - neither of them really suit my CAS style, but for this one a faux lace matting layer actually worked well enough for me to have a little smile.
This one was a card order from my mum, she wanted one for a friend of hers. The friend, and the friend's husband, are greatly amused by me being called Squirrel, and often tell mum if they have heard me on the local BBC radio station. So, when mum said "I want a Squirrel squirrel card" I wasn't sure what she meant - I didn't hear the capital letter, and then the penny dropped.

Although it's cheating, it's a fab way to cheat, and the lacy die is so pretty. I love the squirrel too. He's a real cutie.

A great bit of improvisation Squirrel!! A lovely card xx
Oh Cute and Clever! love it hugs me x
I'm following this conversation to its logical ending point--ribbon is tool of the devil, cats like ribbon, ergo cats = the devil.
Yep, sounds about right.
Great Squirrel squirrel card. And nice job with non fussy ribbon.
