Well, this is my first time participating in the challenge - so glad I finally got a chance to.
So, this is the first card that jumped out at me from Charlene's gorgeous gallery: Cards by LilLuvsStampin at Splitcoaststampers, but then I thought, no.....I have to delve into her gallery further and not just do the first one I see. Deciding was the hardest thing - Charlene, your gallery is filled with beautiful creations. I saw some others I thought I'd do and even started on one, but it just wasn't coming together and this one just kept calling to me. So finally I decided, why fight it....this is a gorgeous card ... just go with it
Here is what I came up with.
I used a different colour combo, different ribbons, a different stamp set and pearls instead of brads.
