t drives me crazy if I buy craft supplie and then get a chance to use them. So this card was designed around the Balmy Blue 1/4" Gingham Ribbon that I hadn't touched in 2 months! LOL!! This Gingham ribbon reminds me of the pastel gingham dresses that my Mom made for my sister and I for Easter. Good memories and I loved that dress!
The Lovely Stripes embossing folder is such a great background! I love it here paired with the gingham ribbon. When creating the Bubble Bath flowers, I applied adhesive sheet to the back of the cardstock before cutting out the detail layer. Then I used the Dark Bubble Bath Stampin' Blend to color just the detail layer so that it popped against the base of the flower. Added the white Pearls of Beauty for the centers.
