Penny Black "Purrfect Friends"

A friend of mine had posted a ribbon challenge on her blog. I decided to start making this card for the challenge, however, I completed it after the deadline and I really didn't think I used enough ribbon. I did think it was cute though so I thought I would share it with my viewers. You should go visit her blog to see her creation using a House Mouse stamp. It is adorable. Here is her site ( http://westamphappy.blogspot.com ) Jami is super talented!!

This card was colored using gamsol magic, and has lots of dimension. There was lots of cutting. (Lol). I had cramps after cutting all of those flowers out in the wheel barrow. The flowers attached to the ribbon are punched out using a stampn up punch called Spring Bouquet. The ribbon is tied to make it look like a stem with leaves. The paper is very shimmery. It is from the Luxury pack from DCWV. Many pieces are sewn.

Card Recipe:

Stamps: Penny Black

Paper: DCWV Luxury stack

Accessories: prisma colored pencils, mineral spirits, cuttlebug floral embossing template, ribbon, SU Spring Bouquet punch, circle nestbalities, embossing powder, glitter

This card is going to be a birthday card for my sister in law. I hope you enjoyed today's posts. Have a great day and thanks for stopping.
