365 Cards Day 242 Ribbon Frenzy

So today's challenge, and for once it is actually today! is to use 7 different ribbons on your card. So inspired by the rebel DT Gloria, I actually used 8 different colours, 3 times each. I suspect 24 ribbons is going a bit beyond the 7, but never mind! I wrapped the ribbon lengths around a piece of foam board with the end colours also wrapped around the top & bottom edges to make a sort of rainbow topper (ribbons courtesy of a mixed pack from Crafty Ribbons of Blandford Dorset). It's all mounted on card from Puffin Crafts (East Dulwich - they were closing down but aren't any more which is great) with an Inkadinkadoo stamp Peace on Earth on which I used pretty pastel glitter green flock.
Sounds vile huh, but I think it turned out quite well!
