Really Reasonable Ribbon Challenge #62

Welcome to the Really Reasonable Ribbon Challenge for today! The challenge is to make a project plus ribbon. That's it! ANYTHING GOES!

Letting me have a challenge like that....well, it could go south quickly, but I kept my head and made a Christmas card! That is not too crazy.

 
I love the NEW Charlotte Natural Crochet Lace. I purchased a bunch of it and have been adding to everything! I added a strip of it to the bottom of the card, then topped it with the 3/8" ruby red double-faced satin.


I will admit that the stars of the show are these flowers that I made from Spellbinders die cut shapes. I love to make my own flowers, but I often use pre-made due to the time it takes to make my own. However, I really wanted this card to be a stand-out, so I took the extra time. It sure paid off!


My perfect bow, made with the Bow Easy!


I added more of the lace to the inside of the card. The stamped sentiment is from Graphic 45.  Love the font!

    It paid off for sure, those flowers are beautiful. I cant decide if its because they are red, which is my favorite color, or if its because they just stand out on their own, This is a beautiful card. Can I ask? Is the little part that is up a little with the star on it, is that like a tag that is tucked in the front? It looks like it, and I just love this card, It is so Christmas!! Thanks. have a great day.
