Marisa aka whiterockmama is being honored this week as FS and I am so happy for her. Marisa is a good pal of mine and she so deserves this honor. What a gallery of gorgeous cards. I picked out about 5 immediately and finally chose this one: WRM Inkspirations Color Challenge by whiterockmama at Splitcoaststampers I made mine a Valentine instead of Christmas and used less green and more white. My bg is different, the button/brad is different, and the punch is not the same, but I kept her sketch. I know Marisa sometimes using her crimper so I crimped my designer paper and I see it doesn't even show. Drat!
Marisa, I hope you are enjoying your week as FS.
After I made this card for FS Marisa, I saw the Color Challenge today of red, white, silver or gray and decided to join that, also.
My card has a lot of gold but the brad has some SILVER.
I used the dessert option: ribbon. Wish I had used a different green that wasn't grosgrain with the sheer but I didn't...so here it is.

Brenda, what a beautiful card. I love the pretty suspended heart, the punched borders and that gorgeous looking ribbon/button. I think the gold/silver button takes it over the top for me.

What a coool idea to turn this into a Valentine card Benzi. You did a superb job. I love the cording, crimped dp, border punches and that awesome ribbon/brad treatment!! Whew, Mama Ritzi will surely be honored by this one. You can send that to me for Valentine's Day cuz I would love to reuse the brad - it's so purty! I will be using the brad to go on my secret blog called Fruitcakez Secretz!! LOL!! TFS and I still have ideas for the gold sprig!
