I made this card for my design team work at the Clean and Simple Stamping Blog, Fall to Layout 174 (FTL174). As usual, we had an awesome sketch to work with and I came up with this card. I had one idea in mind but then it took on a life of its own and I'm very happy with how it turned out. It's a different look and style for me. I hope that you enjoy it too and I'd love to have you visit me at my blog, Cindy Coutts Designs, where you will see more photographs of this card.
I wrapped some ruler cotton ribbon round a Creative Page Tabs die-cut as a spool and then put 2 glass head pins through it. My colors are very neutral. The black strip of paper on top is just something I found in my paper stash and thought it would be a great addition to ground the black color.
