Everything Eleanor

                Everything Eleanor

Here's a different kind of post - a card I'm not very pleased with! Ever have those? Well, this is one of them!
I liked the idea but not the embossing... wish it had a bit of ribbon or something. So I'll be right back with an updated version that's more to my liking. (scroll down)

Here's the stamp set - lots of beautiful elements!

And here it is! I have to tell you this card was a struggle for me!  It took me a while to decide just how I would introduce the ribbon. I decided on little "knot centers"...





I used the new Delicate Designs Folder and embossed diagonally across the card after stamping the swirly-do. Adds a lacy feel, doesn't it?











3/8" Stitched Satin ribbon in Raspberry Ripple became the flower centers, along with a pearl or two.

Stamped with Gumball Green, Raspberry Ripple and Primrose Petals.

Whew! I'm happier now!

LOL! Before I saw your new rendition, I was going to recommend that same ribbon for leaves!! Love the delicate designs folder on the diagonal. Really nice!

This is such a beautiful card. Your detail is amzing! I am not sure I would ever have the patience to cut out all the flowers.
