I love making cards each month for the PTI blog hop, Nichole always has amazing photo's that we are to use for the inspiration in making our cards and this month was no exception...the colors and all of the details on these pillows are just so fabulous. I tried pleating my ribbon with no luck just ribbon that needed to be ironed...maybe someone will be able to offer a class on a quick and easy way to get good results with ribbon pleating or maybe I just needed a bit more patience. I was gone yesterday to an all day rock concert (The Vans Warped Tour) outside just next store to AT&T park, it was hot, crowded and way too much fun but I could just not get my brain to kick into gear today. So instead of pleating ribbon I decided that I would go with the center of one of the pillows and add a couple of felt roses. So here is my card for today...while putting it together I decided to make it work for me and followed the sketch for this weeks Retro Sketch challenge #17... thanks for taking a peek!
