This is my first card for 2007 daring cardmakers.
I based it on one of Elsie Flannigan's scrap challenges, no.3 customise a ribbon border.
What this picture doesn't show too well is that the thickest piece of ribbon running from top to bottom is lilac spotted. I used two pieces of lilac check & one piece of lilac spot. Tiny pink buttons & mini purple flowers. Each flower has a tiny star bling in the centre. The large pink blossom is one of my new doodlebug blooms with a Laura Ashley button in the centre. My greeting is made in 3D, (seems to be my thing so far this year) & I have used off cuts of lilac pearlescent card & patterned papers.I based it on one of Elsie Flannigan's scrap challenges, no.3 customise a ribbon border.
I really enjoyed making this for two reasons. The first being it is the very first dare of 2007 & the other reason being I really wanted to try this challenge of Elsie's but couldn't bring myself to use all that ribbon on a 12x12 page!!!!!

Just beautiful, Paula! Love the ribbons and bling. When I click on the blog page image and look at the enlarged picture, it is a lot easier to see how you did the borders. That button is great too, isn't it?
Just curious - what is the idea behind choosing a word for the year? Am I allowed to know? :-D
Gorgeous Paula, love the way you've used the ribbon. Is the scrap challenge from her book or somewhere else?
