It's Friday, and Taylor is back in 'business' with a new sketch, TESC118:
This week there's a BONUS! You could win a FREE TE stamp set if you play along. Just create something using the sketch and up-load your creation to Taylor's blog. You have until July 2nd at 8am PST to play along!
OK, so my card didn't turn out as I imagined. First, I didn't have the right color ribbon. I really wanted to add ruffles again, but this rick-rack ribbon was the only thing I found that worked. Then I wanted to add some brown stitching, and I only ended up with holes... and not very pretty ones... plus I noticed that my card is not square! Oh, well... it was late and I didn't have time to make another card. This will have to do!
Recipe: Discover Your Wings stamp set (Taylored Expressions)... Mellow Moss and Chococlate Chip card stock (SU!)... Blush Blossom Craft ink, Mellow Moss and Chocolate Chip Classic ink (SU!)... Clear embossing powder (SU!)... Scallop Lace border punch 9SU!)... rick-rack ribbon and pearls (misc)...
The colors are from Color Throwdown #98.

I think that your card is awesome Monika.I think that the rick-rack looks better then a ribbon would. Your colors are lovely :)
