I have been wanting to participate in a Papertrey Blog Hop for some time now, but was never organized enough to get it done! Well, this month I MADE time! The challenge this month was to use the color yellow to the best of it's potential on your card or project, You could use it as an accent or as the main color. I love yellow, especially PTI's Lemon Tart, so I paired it with Kraft and Summer Sunrise and a new set from PTI called Friends 'Til the End.
I started off using Jen del Muro's Sketch For You To Try from this week but veered from the sketch with the main image. I stamped the sentiment in Memento Tuxedo Black on PTI White, cut it out with a Curved Rectangle Nestie and before removing it from the die, I sponged on some Lemon Tart Ink. When you remove it from the die you have that beautiful white edge. The flower and leaves were colored with Copics and cut out. The Vintage White Button was threaded with some embroidery floss and adhered to the center of the flower with Crystal Effects. I threaded the Summer Sunrise Ribbon after punching the slits with a Fiskars Ribbon Threader Punch. This is my first time doing this and I just love how it looks!
Here is a close up of the card! The adhesive rhinestones were a last minute thing because I felt it needed just a little sumthin' sumthin'!
Thanks for stopping by my blog!!
Ciao!!

Love your card, especially the way that you wove the ribbon along the outside of your card. Have never heard of the ribbon threader punch before, got to look into purchasing one.
