I created a card yesterday that, from all appearances, took on a mind of it's own.
I was determined to use this beautiful paisley ribbon Peggy sent me 2 years ago! It's a rust color which has been somewhat difficult for me to use.
Luckily, my graphic45 paper seemed to be the perfect accompaniment for Peggy's ribbon.
I was also dying to use my new RubberNecker collage stamp. So I put my Rubbernecker collage image togeter with Peggy's ribbon and a spare key, and there you have it.
THANKS TO: Peggy for the paisley satin ribbon and Christine, Whim6915, for the black bling!

Collage cards are difficult for me, but you make it look easy. Such a beautiful array of colors, images, textures. LOVE the key in the mix and Peggy-Sue's ribbon came in at just the perfect moment. It really tops this card off nicely. You've done it again Anne - anothe WINNER!!! And, I was a winner today too because I was able to view 3 of your newest creations!! TFS!!

Oh my Anne, has it been 2 years already! It surprised me to read that. WOW, I do love what you did with it. I don't know, when I saw that ribbon, the little I'd known from you then, still told me to send it to you. I just love what you created with it. I love rusty colours, though they seem to compete with my blue addiction. LOL
Well, all this to say waiting 2 years for it to look even better than I had imagined, it was worth it my friend. I, of course just love your card, but not as much as I adore you Anne Ryan. When you send this to someone, I know there will be a little part of me along, and that's the best feeling. TFS
