So nice when a card I've just completed happens to meet a challenge! This week's Free for All is to use pleats or ruffles and I happened to use a pleated ribbon on a wedding card I just finished. My niece is getting married on Sunday and my bro. and mom each asked for wedding cards for the couple. I reached into my paper stash and found a wedding scrapbooking kit that I used for most of the elements on this card. I added some spatter and sponging and also stamped the flourish on the base and tag and matched up the image in my layout. I added pieces of die cuts, some ribbon flowers I found at a yard sale this morning and the pleated ribbon at the bottom. I added an eyelet to my tag and used fibers and thread.

Love the soft, subtleness of your colors. That little ruffled edge is so perfect.
