This card is for the Ways to Use It Challenge, Raving on Ribbon, which is about using ribbon on your card. Can you make a card without ribbon??? I don't think I can. I love to use it and used two different kinds on this card...wide grosgrain (love that big fat ribbon!) and ric-rac. This is also my first time sewing on a card. I love that look and have wanted to try it for some time....think I need more practice.
This is for my good friend, Lisa (StampilyEverAfter), for her birthday. She loves Ruby Red and daisies, so I tried to make it from the things that are special to her. She's so special to me.
TFL!
