For the Twisted Sister challenge, Silly Filly asked that we make a card that is not rectangle or square, have three layers and ribbon or twine. I chose to do mine in a nestie shape and fussy cut a flower from the SU! Fifth Avenue Floral set. I colored with flower with SU! markers Marina Mist, Pacific Blue, Garden Green and So Saffron. I added pearls and a ribbon made with a Bow Easy.
What do you think?

Holley Molley Les! This is awesome! I love the nestie but the way you embellished is beautiful! Lovin the bow too. But I have to say, the fussy cut flower absolutely set the whole thing off to perfection!
