Happy March 1st, friends! You know what Thursday means...it's Create with Connie & Mary day! This week its a color inspiration. Check out these happy, spring-time colors:
I combined our colors with this beautiful sketch from the gals over at Card Patterns:
I really liked the layout and the unique border treatment in the sketch. So, here's what I did with it:
Just Believe was one of those sets I just HAD to have when it came out but it's been sorely neglected in my craft room. So, I dusted it off and colored it with Wild Wasabi and So Saffron Stampin' Write markers to create my focal image. I needed a thinking of you card for a friend and this one from Word Play is among my favorites. I overstamped it in Island Indigo to coordinate with the card base.
The Lace Ribbon Border punch made a lovely trim piece through which I wove a piece of So Saffron 3/8" Taffeta Ribbon and with a glue dot added a little knot and some Island Indigo Baker's Twine--love that stuff! And that's it, pretty simple really, especially when the sketch and colors are picked out for me!

Very nice, Nance. I like how you wove the ribbon through the punched paper.
ReplyDeleteI love this one, Nance. Just Believe is such an awesome set, but a bit neglected here as well. You've inspired me to use it today!
ReplyDeleteNance I LOVE this card! I think this is one of my favorites from you. LOVE the colors and design is FAB-U-LOUS! I can feel the breeze through the flowers, and really like the sentiment overstamped in the bold indigo...but that woven ribbon is perfection. Hugs
ReplyDeleteOh! So! Pretty! Love that border, the colors, the threaded ribbon - this is a beauty!
ReplyDeleteThis is so pretty! I love your unique border treatment, too! You nailed the sketch and the colors work perfectly with this stamp!
ReplyDeleteHello there, friend! Sorry I've been a stranger. I haven't inked up this set in ages, but I'm so inspired by your design and color choices here! The ribbon threaded through the punched border is amazing, too. So glad you joined us this week at Card Patterns!
ReplyDeleteSo pretty---that set is on my wish list but I never did get it! I love what you did with the ribbon & border at the bottom! You always come up with the coolest ideas!
ReplyDeleteOh Nance, this is gorgeous! Love the way you used the colours and that punched strip with the ribbon is a fabulous touch. Love that flower set and you used it to perfection. Great card :)
ReplyDeleteThis is so pretty! I am a Just Believe fan, too! Hmmm, haven't had that out in a while...maybe one of the next challenges?

ReplyDeleteWhat an elegant card! I just love the ribbon ran through the lace punch. Just beautiful.
ReplyDeleteNow I am not a fan of lace so I don't even have this punch, but oh my! You are making me add it to my next order! This is just beautiful. Of course, it helps that I love the colors and that stamp set too! Way to go!
