Hi! Thought I'd play in a Flourishes Gimme Ten 10-Minute challenge today. Seems that's about all the time I truly had to actually make a card today....busy, busy day.
Love that Swirly Parchment Frame by Sweet Stamps. It dresses up a card in no time. The tree, sign and leaves are all from Stampin' Up!'s Le Jardin Botanique, a set I adore but don't get much inky time with.
An oval punch helped make this a quick card.
Also entering this at:
Dimensions: 4.25" x 5.5"
Stamps: Le Jardin Botanique - SU; Swirly Parchment Frame - Sweet Stamps
Paper: white - PTI
Ink: Memento Tuxedo Black - Tsukineko; Soft Suede - SU
Fibers: sheer brown ribbon - Really Reasonable Ribbon
Other: pearl - Queen & Co.; large oval punch - SU

- Really Reasonable Ribbon - 'flowers and ribbon' (do a tree and leaves count??)
- For Your Inspiration - be inspired using this photo:
The arches on the Coliseum inspired me to pull out the swirly frame stamp; lots of arches on there.
Okay, that's it for me! This post took way longer than the actual card! ;)
