My first challenge
My first card to publish to my blog, and my first card for a challenge. But i'm posting it too late - which makes me so mad because I made it days ago :( Oh well, I hope you guys enjoy it anyway!
I made it for Makeesha's colour challenge (here) - I really love how the touch of red brightens the So Saffron/Regal Rose colour scheme!
A note on the ribbon ruffle - I running hand stitched along one side of the ribbon with dental floss then tightened the stitching to create the ruffle. I use floss because it's very strong and almost never breaks, plus it slides easily along the ribbon!
Recipe (all Stampin' Up today):
Ingredients:
Stamps: Pocket Silhouettes
Cardstock: Regal Rose, Real Red, Whisper White
DSP: Windsor Knot
Ink: So Saffron, Real Red, Regal Rose
Ribbon: Regal Rose 5/8"
Other: Ultra glue (for the ruffle) and dental floss
