Really Reasonable Ribbon March Spring Rainbow Blog Hop

Hello Friends!!

I am so excited to be participating in the

March Really Reasonable Ribbon Blog Hop!!

Hopefully you are visiting me from Karen's Blog.

If you are just joining the blog hop, then you will want to start at the

Really Reasonable Ribbon Blog.

That way you can see what you can win, and not miss out on any of the Design Team's fabulous creations using this month's

Really Reasonable Ribbon Assortment!!
Here is a photo of the Ribbon Assortment below!!

I just love all the ribbons in Bonnie's

"Spring Rainbow" Mix Assortment!!

I used the Sharon White Crochet Lace, Light Coral Delicate Stitched Satin and Daffodil Swirls Satin from this month's kit on my card as well as Cotton Candy Baker's Twine and Deep Ivory Mulberry Roses.

I created a standard size A2 Card base from one of my digital papers which you can find in my Etsy shop. Then I used Tombow Foam Tabs to elevate my Yellow Rose Focal. I tied a few buttons with Cotton Candy Baker's Twine and layered them on top of the Daffodil Swirls Satin
(inked with Frayed Burlap) and Sharon White Crochet Lace.
I used my Bow it all tool and Light Coral Delicate Stitched Satin to create the bow at the top of my card.
Here is a close up of the bottom.

Vintage Ladies in the Garden Card

Hello Friends!!

I hope you are having a Great Day!
I am hopefully having a great time in Texas at the
Gecko Galz Retreat.
Today I am sharing a card that I created for the
Gecko Galz: In the Garden Challenge
and
Really Reasonable Ribbon: Flowers & Ribbon Challenge.

I used this months Ephemera Set "In the Garden" by Gecko Galz.

I also used a floral Digital Paper pack that I designed.

which you can find in my Etsy here.
Of course Yummy Ribbons, Trims and Flowers from
Really Reasonable Ribbon!!

I created a card base with ivory card stock. I simply cut a sheet of 8.5 by 11 paper in half, to create two card bases.

I then cut my pink floral paper 4 1/8" by 5 3/8"

Then I cut a 2" strip of the cream and blue green script paper and placed it on my card.

I layered the

I cut out the GG images, and used one of my papers behind the larger one to create a 1/8 inch matte, leaving a 1/2" matt at the bottom edge. Candi Fix it Foam Pads were used to elevate it and the oval image. I added a bit of Arianna Natural Crochet Lace then wrapped it with Cotton Candy Baker's Twine and tied a bow. Then I layered Light Celery 5/8" Crochet Lace, 5/8" Ivory Crochet Lace and Delicate Rose Pink Grosgrain.
Pink Leaves, Baby Pink Mulberry Roses, Deep Ivory Mulberry Roses and Pink Mulberry Roses were also used on my large and small focal images. Sandra Crochet lace and Oyster Baker's Twine are what I wrapped around the smaller oval image.

Above you can see how I used the mulberry flowers and added a piece of 1/4" Silver Gray Organza across the top of my card and created a double bow with my Bow it All tool.
