I thought I would try to use my Spring Solitude set as I've barely used it and combine 2 challenges, SC226 and CC216 (real red, old olive and black).
As always, I struggled somewhat, but am learning to just keep going and it will work it's way out in the end. I hope it has. I got to use some ribbon I've had for along time and have been dying to use.
I also got to use my new black pearls!
Thanks so much for taking the time to look and if you have a moment, let me know what you think.

Great job! Love the flowers in the corners with the black pearls in them, and the branch punch behind the sentiment circle." Well done on the multiple challenges on one card too

Great job on this double challenge. I really like the black with these two colors. I love the scallop and circle. It looks great with the pop of green behind it..

Again with the two challenges in one! If I don't get sidetracked by anything, I intend to give it a shot tonight too! I only see one punch I don't have - you managed to work in lots of punching didn't you! And piercing too - and I love those black pearls! Love how you attached the ribbon and those little MS branch bits look great... Keep 'em coming!
