Happy Wednesday! I'm officially at a beach house for the rest of the week enjoying some R&R with my family...well minus Andy, but he's joining us on Friday. I'm really looking forward to getting away for a bit since this summer just seems to be flying by. Is it just me or are you feeling the same way? Anyway, I have prescheduled some posts and hope it all goes as planned! The first share is a really quick card to share with you which was inspired by some yummy ribbon a friend gave to me.
I also wanted to try out this month's Unity Guest Designer Sketch Challenge over at SCS and so happy they seem to work out. This is what I came up with - A Rose, Friend to Friend.
The stamp and sentiment are both from Unity's June Stamp Kit and started with white card stock base. The ribbon is YUMMY! Really can't even begin to explain to you how stunning it is. It's a strip of silk ribbon with silk/satin rosettes sewed on. I then added a strip and bow polka dot ribbon right below it with a pearl in the middle.
Under the ribbon I stamped friend to friend with brown memento ink and above the ribbon the owl with the same ink. I added some sparkles with the stardust pen to the owl and finish the card with some corduroy buttons on top of the ribbon. I always love to tie ribbon or thread through the button holes, in this case was Chocolate Chip taffeta ribbon and with halfback pearls in the middle.
Thanks for stopping by and tomorrow I have an altered item thursday and card to share with you!
Hope you're having a cupcakelicious day,
that is pretty ribbon! great card, as usual my friend!
