I was cleaning up my catastrophe of a desk the other night and quite by accident (die cuts and rejected stamped images strewn all over the place) discovered that the Ribbon Die fit perfectly inside the leafy image from the Inspire Hope. I was giddy, I loved the look of it so much, and had to completely abandon my cleaning (twist my arm) and make a card! This one's pretty simple, but it's got a strong message.
I started by stamping the leafy image from Inspire Hope in mossy meadow on a square of white cardstock. Next I stamped the strength stamp from Pink Power in the bottom center and the hope stamp from Inspire Hope on either side of it. I added a little silver washi tape border up top and embellished with a string of adhesive rhinestones. The ribbon is cut with the Ribbon Die from designer paper and popped up over the leafy image. I finished with some chevron ribbon behind and a metal heart to "pin" it down.
Thanks so much for stopping by today!

You couldn't help it. When the muse calls, you have to answer. Domestic chores are secondary. And see what a cool card you made? Well done.
LOVE the ribbon in the leaves!! one of my favorite colour combos too. Great work as always - not worries about the room cleanup - I'm always losing the war in mine LOL!
I like how you winged your "Strength" with "Hope". Great job on your card.
This is a beautiful card refleciting a beautiful stamp set that I think we all need to add to our stash <3
It's so not fair that you can create such gorgeous cards by "accident"! I LOVE It. All the different stripes just work together so well. And the striped die cut ribbon looks so great paired with those sprigs.
Lovely! The black and white stripes with the striped ribbon die cut are wonderful! Love the chevron ribbon with the metal heart! Such an uplifting card!
Pink and black makes a strong statement. Love that ribbon die helps emphasis the message when we see the ribbon. Great card too.
