What a fabulous Stamp Simply Team!!! Thank you girls!!! Much appreciated!!!

And here is my sample:

I chose to use machine stitching on my card — it’s around the perimeter — see it? Just plain straight stitches, nothing fancy!!! And can you see the Pink Satin Scalloped Ribbonpeaking out between the two papers? I tucked it under the top paper and machine stitched along the edge of the paper. LOVE using this scalloped ribbon in this way — it allows you to have this dainty and delicate scalloped edge onyour card with no work at all — no scallops to make — just adhere the ribbon on — fun and pretty!!!! Once we’re talking about ribbon, I also used my favorite 1″ wide Pink Satin Ribbon as the focal ribbon piece, knotting it on front — LOVE this soft, supple ribbon by May Arts!!! (It’s the same ribbon as the Pomegranate and Chocolate by SU last year, only it is availabe in a lot of soft and pretty colors at Flourishes.)

OK, back to the card — this is the topiary from Siberian Iris that I just love so much!!! For this card I stamped it in Chocolate Chip and colored with SU markers, accenting the topiary tops with the Inkksentials Opaque White Pen, which does such a great job and writes so nicely!!! That pretty pink and creamy DP is from the Sugared 6 x 6 pad by Basic Grey. It has such pretty colors and prints in it!!! My corner piece is die cut on the Cuttlebug and adhered very easily with the Quickie Glue Pen. This is just the greatest glue pen with it’s small, pen-sized tip — you can just get glue exactly where you want it — and it sticks so well!!! Definitely my go-to glue pen!!! And that pretty well takes care of this card — fun one to make!!! Love all the pinks this time of year — it is so NOT pink or spring-like here yet!!! One of these days!!!
