Ribbon Pleating

our sponsor for this challenge is

Crafty Ribbons is a ribbon emporium, we are passionate about ribbons and want to share our fantastic ribbons with others. Our range of Christmas ribbons is second to none.

Remember when we only used ribbons to add a bow to our hair, or tie up a birthday parcel?  Ribbons are now a "must-have" for all types of craft.  Whether your project requires satin, sheer, silk, grosgrain, gingham or polka dot ribbon we have them all!  Lots and lots of different colours in a range of widths.

Need a little bit of ribbon inspiration - then have a look at our projects, or visit our blog they use nothing but ribbon.  Go on, have a try... It's worth it

I have used my M.S. Doily round the corner punch to give the Dp a lace edge. The Dp is papermaina  Failytale. The image has been cut out with a Xcut round die and is backed with a Xcut Doily die. The lace is from a local shop. The ribbon is from my stash and i have used some Viva pearls and all fairies have to have glittered wings.
