For today's IC I chose this gift bag: http://www.elumdesigns.com/shop/lett...lack-gift-bag/
I don't mind telling you that this gave me fits! When I saw the bag I immediately thought of this cuttlebug folder. I inked it w/ SU black - way too purple. Then I inked it w/ MS black & ran it through the CB 3 times & it still didn't get good coverage, even though the folder w/ solid. So I added the sentiment, but then thought who'd want a black & white thinking of you card. I added white grosgrain one loop ribbon bow to cover a smudge.
So what should've been a simple card took me over an hour! Oh my....
Your comments are apperciated.
Thanks for looking.

I think you did a great job with this challenge. I know it can be tricky inking the cb folder. I have done that before. This turned out really nice, love that ribbon too.

I love it. the black and white is perfect for thinking of you - use it for those sad times, loss of a loved one or pet, etc. I really like the ribbon treatment also.,
