A {Best Wishes} Card...

Hello!  Don't you just hate when life gets in the way of crafting?  Lol, but that's what happened yesterday.  The whole day was just a blur and I'd like to keep it that way.

So, as I was browsing my regular blogs this morning, I really liked this week's challenge from Runway Inspired Challenge.  The sun was overhead when I took the photo so the ribbon looks a little weird, it's just tied in a knot, the rest is a shadow.

I used a labels die to create a flap for my center panel.  It adds a touch of elegance and creates a place for more embellishments.

Have a great day!

A {40 and Fabulous} Card...

Hello!  I made this card for a challenge.  It's been a while since I've participated in one of those.  It's for this week's Runway Inspired Challenge.   I chose to use the colors of the clothing on my card.  I ended up loving the layout of the card, but I'm not quite to keen on the color combo, which I don't necessarily understand in the clothing either.  

Maybe next time I'll be inspired by the feel or the elements used in the clothes themselves.  Thinking about it now, I should have used RUFFLES!

Thanks so much for joining me today!

Have a great day!
