JOY...and a shameless CASE
I was inspired by Darnell's cards using wide printed ribbon such as HERE & HERE. Finally yesterday I actually hunted down my bag of similar ribbons I bought over 10 years ago. I did use them on cards at the time, but none since then. I need some flat cards to mail overseas & wanted to enter the current challenges at Flourishes, Freshly Made Sketches, Pixie's Crafty Workshop & Curtain Call. This is one of my favorite Flourishes stamps & I colored it with 2 shades of green & red Distress Markers, added Stickles, gold dot stickers & a row of hand stitching. Thank you, Darnell, for giving me the inspiration I needed & thanks to all of you for your continued encouragement I so appreciate!

ReplyDeleteOMGORGEOUS! Your inspiration comes from Darnell, but your "Greta" flair is most certainly evident. Stunning!
