Sorry I missed the PPA Challenge last week. I made my card and it turned out to be in the wrong colors for the challenge!!! Can you believe that!. We decided not to post it as it would confuse everyone… I thought to myself, no it wouldn’t everyone knows me by now!!! lol
Anyway, on to this card… which is not the one I created for the PPA last week.
I wanted to make a Lace Gathered Flower and really liked the Beau Chateau, even though it is so not my style. But I do love this DSP. So I went with my go to layout on this 6 X 3 card.
I used Blushing Bride with it instead of Pink Pirouette. I liked how it toned it down a bit. P Pirouette was just too bright a pink and I didn’t think it worked well with my card. I actually distressed the Butterfly just because I never do that.
My Gathered Lace Ribbon Flower is made by using about a 3/4 yard or so of lace and making a running stitch with a needle and thread and then gathering it. I then made a circle and sewed it shut. The Lace Ribbon Leaves are just a folded piece of ribbon and sewn down the middle. You’ll notice I slipped a length of Lace Ribbon under the Blushing Bride Ribbon.
Here’s the other Gathered Ribbon Lace Flower I made awhile back, if you’d like to see it.
My supplies:
- Beau Chateau DSP
- Blushing Bride and Whisper White Cardstock
- Blushing Bride Ribbon
- Lace Ribbon from my stash
- Butterfly Punch
- Lacey Circle Die, Nestibilites
- Silver Gems
I hope you enjoyed my card today and my new blog design. I created it myself using a digital kit and Elements 9. I have some tweaking to do yet, but it should be all finished soon. Have an awesome day and I’ll see you on Thursday with the correct PPA Challenge!!! lol
Upcoming: I have another Beau Chateau card that is so easy and simple and lets the DSP shine thru. Plus, I’ll post my PPA card that I did in the wrong colors, under an assumed name.
