Well Hello There.........

Hi Friends!

I thought I'd pop in with a card I finished just now.  I wanted to try this new ribbon I bought yesterday which you cut to length and then pull the stitching which is only along one edge and it folds itself into a little ruffle flower!   Let me show you the card so you can get the drift!


Isn't it cool?  It's probably been availble for 100 years, but it was a fun discovery for me yesterday and it's only $1.20 a metre! BARGAIN!  It comes in 3 colours - White, Pink and Blue and I got a few metres of each.

I've used Elegant Eggplant, Kraft,  Melon Mambo, Kiwi Kiss and Lavender Lace on this card as well as stamps by Papertrey Ink!   I don't think I have EVER used Lavender Lace before but it looks quite ok here I think!

Anyhooooooo just a simple little card today which I hope you'll like!   With any luck I'll be back later in the week!  Thanks for stopping by today!
