I wanted a crisp colour scheme and found it with this green and lemon combination. I started with another shade of green but thought the better of it very early on!
I stamped and embossed the text using a stamp from Our Daily Bread Designs Scripture Collection 2 set and mounted it on a diagonally cut piece of green cardstock.
The flower is from the Hero Arts Set Fashion Flowers, being the Sunflower Style stamp. I bought this set years ago and use it quite regularly. The flower was stamped, embossed and then painted with twinkling H2O's. The stem is a piece of green gingham ribbon folded to form the leaves and held together with the ubiquitous double sided tape.

Unfortunately the folder did not reach to the bottom of the card, so I turned it round and added the bottom edge of the card to the folder to try and cover the whole card - it worked, but not that well, and I ended up with a blank section, so placed the red ribbon to hide that!
The final touch was to add the pearls.
I was very pleased with the overall effect of this card, and decided not to add a salutation to it - so I embossed it and added it to the insert instead.
i have also realised that this can be entered in the SSCC#25 as it has two ribbons, two colours of cardstock, two colours on the flower..... not quite two of the same stamp image, but definitely two stamps have been used... do you think they will accept it?
Thank you so much for calling by and for any comments that you may leave - I really appreciate your thoughtfulness when you comment.
