This for the ribbon scrap challenge and a birthday card for my favorite card class teacher Diann. She is so generous with her time and she is such a lovely person and good friend. This card was inspired by a card I saw on Pinterest and I put it in a folder on my computer. If the creator of this design sees this and will pm me, I will give you credit! It was such a fun card to do and so not one of my usual creations..
:-) It is always hard for me to offset things...I always want to do straight little soldiers.
The EF is called Pinstripes, (I really did not use this on my other card with similar stripes...I DID score that one) the tag is a Marianne Design, The butterfly is a Simon Says (the body is Elizabeth Craft), the scalloped edge die is SU and the square was made with the Spellbinder square die set. The sheer dotted ribbon scrap is from who knows where... I colored my half pearls with a copic to match my paper color! The Birthday wishes is from SU. Both the pink and striped layer are popped up using dimensionals. I did not have a banner die so I hand made this one using the square punch to make the banner end...
This is also for the Simon Says "Anything Goes" challenge! Here is a link if you want to play along:

Peggy sometimes I struggle to find the right words for your beautiful cards. What can I say that has not been said. Your talent for these amazing creations is beyond words my friend.

Peggy, I love, love, LOVE this card!!! All of the gorgeous die-cuts, and the delicate pink and white, the tuft of delicate, ethereal pink ribbon at the top of the sentiment tag, and I especially love how you've used the pink frame behind the sentiment tag.
But it's not just what elements you use, it's how you put it all together. Thank you for allowing me to learn from each of your cards, your style is so elegant, and one can always feel the depth of love and kindness in your heart in all that you create. Just like you and your wonderful heart--this is GORGEOUS!!!

Peggy, this is a beautiful, beautiful design! I love the tag and off-set frame on this - lovely details that are well thought out and placed with precision. This is a design I would love to CASE just as is! Wouldn't this be lovely as a baby card for a little girl? Hmm, our Teddy is going to be a first cousin in November. His mama's sister (Rebekah) is having a little girl named Vivian Ray.
