I had some free time today so I decided to check out the Midnight Madness Sketch and the Ways to Use It challenge - they were both awesome. The Ways to Use It Challenge today is playing with ribbon - altering it to make a project memorable. I ran my SU! Lace Ribbon through the More Mustard Stamp Pad and fake scruched it with glue dots.
The Midnight Madness Sketch was wonderful and included a bow so these challenges were made to go together. I haven't done the Midnight Madness Sketch challenge in a long time - I totally forgot how beautiful they are - I have missed out (but I know I can always go back and do the ones I missed - only 79 more to go!!!!- LOL). I have so fallen down on the job. If you are interested in checking out this beautiful sketch you can find it here:
Paper: SU! Old and new yellows and HL dark cream base

Nancy I am loving the vintage shabby chic look to this card. The words on the sentiment are so touching and perfect to send to someone who means the world to you. I love the way you scrunched up the ribbon too! Very beautiful and appealing card my friend!
