This is for today's sketch challenge. I got a fabulous package from Anne Ryan the other day filled with goodies. I just knew they would make a great, cheerful card. I used 2 rows of the ribbon to make up the bottom panel. IRL the flowers are so yummy! I covered a flower brad with glitter and used it for the flower center. The main panels are outlined with a Copic marker after embossing. The embossing ridge makes a perfect guide for the marker. Doesn't it look like there's 4 layers? This really cut down on the bulk!

You made an awesome card with your new goodies! Love how you made the flower brad into a blingy brad. And yes, I would have sworn there were 4 layers. Good trick!! Cute way to use the ribbon, too.

It REALLY looks like 4 layers. What a great idea. I was going to ask you how you got those layers like that. Super card. Love Anne Ryan RAK's. Super job.

OMGosh, just I was opening your card and watching the screen unfold, I saw what I thought was polka dot paper. My immediate reaction was, wow, do I love that paper. And then I discover it's ribbon. Oh, you are way too creative for me, girl. How wonderfully sweet your card is, and how sweet of you to use that ribbon and flowers. you're the greatest, I swear.
