Not So Clean and Simple After All
I started this card with the Clean and Simple Stamping FTL 147, but it ended up being a little fancier than I intended. The papers are from an old Making Memories pad and Cherry Cobbler. I punched the fleur-de-lis with an EK Success punch and layered them on a Nestie circle. I searched for the right color ribbon in my stash and thought I was out of luck until I found this bit in my scrap box. It was the perfect length for ruffling (even if it is a little crooked) :). The sentiment is from a clear set that I got a long time ago and no longer have the name of.
I think this still TOTALLY counts as Clean and Simple! It's amazing how easily you could turn this into a Christmas card too! Thank you so much for the nice comment you left on my welcome post at the My Mind's Eye Blog! I was so touched by the overwhelmingly warm welcome!
