Another one inspired by Featured Stamper Charlene aka Willow01. This time I chose her Thanks So Much card to make a Best Wishes card for my husband to give to one of his co-workers who is leaving.
I kept the same basic layout, but changed up the colours, using my newly received Bashful Blue and Riding Hood Red cardstock!! Stamped the Sweet Summer image and embossed in black and then added light colouring with my Copics. The red cardstock was run through the Cuttlebug branches folder to add some texture, and tied some Bashful Blue ribbon into a knot. Stamped the sentiment and then cut it out with Spellbinders oval die and attached with some silver cording! Added a MS butterfly to finish things off!
Thanks for taking a peek - and for the inspriation Charlene!!

Love it - especially the way you've attached the sentiment! Just great.
