Lucy's Cards Challenge 1 - Colour and Cards Blog Challenge: Ribbon

OK...so I got a little carried away. I actually ended up with 2 cards for Lucy's challenge using the colors aqua, pink, and kraft; and combined it with the challenge over at the Cards Magazine blog to use ribbon, the bigger the better. Oh you know how I LAAAUUUV kraft! So this was right up my alley.

I just love how the ribbon weaved down the side turned out. I used a border punch by Martha Stewart that punches little rectangles side by side. It just screamed to have ribbon threaded through it. And how about that butterfly?! I told you I was a plaid junky lately. I used the faux ribbon set by PTI to create that loveliness in SU! Pretty in Pink and MS aqua ink on cream cardstock.

I told you, I'm plaid crazy! Here it is again this time reversed. (oh and don't worry, I have plenty more color combos to post :0)) I just love naked chipboard, there's just something about it. All it needed was a couple of cross-stitches and some inking around the edges.

Hope you enjoyed! Don't forget to check out Lucy's site to see the other fabulous creations. Oh, and if you're looking for another challenge, don't forget there is still time to play along in my Inspire Me Challenge #4.
