I am so happy ... not 'coz all 5 cards for the May challenge are done ... but I tried some new shtuph on my card.
Wanted a lattice effect background ... and that technique can be found on stamp tv ... for the 3 panels at the bottom ... was inspried by Andrea Ewen's card ... she said to cut the design ... and it worked (thanks Andrea) ... and for the first time I tried ruffled ribbon ... always wondered how it was done ... saw a video on that earlier this week ... on Mary Fish's website under 1 minute to Wow.
That said ... here is my card ... what do you think??
Thanks for peeking in today.

There are so many gorgeous elements...love that lattice frame & background, the fabulous embossing (super effect), the trio of flowers (glad you were inspired!) AND that ruffled ribbon is DIVINE!
