I actually got all packed for my trip and had extra time today so I got to do today's Free for All challenge about sides and edges. All edges were punched with a MS border punch and sponged. The flower was punched twice and popped up, with a smaller punched flower for the center. I colored red gingham ribbon with Y21 ButterCup Yellow to give it a more vintage hue. I used wire to secure the ribbon in a gathered shape.

Fantastic!! This is so pretty. I love the way you layered those wonderful border punches, and the DP is outstanding. Great colors in those. The distressing really makes this look vintage. Love your pretty paper flower and ribbon treatment, too. Lovely work

Beautiful - what cheery colours. I've seen cards with layered strips like this but the colours on yours coupled with that wonderful bow take it to a new level.

Bridget, I like that you sponged your layers. It reminds me of old wallpaper or an old dress (and by old, I mean vintage!). Your layers remind me of a couple of cards I did a few months ago!
