This was a MAJOR MAJOR challenge for me. To be totally honest I think my card sorta sucks but given the restrictions this was my best of 3 attempts - the other 2 ended up in the trash. To try and give the allusion of extra layers I sponged the edges of my Pink Paislee DP with dark brown ink. I don't know that this gave the look I was intending but I guess it helped. As for the the 2 embellishements, I interpreted this as 2 types so I used some ribbon and some Kaiser pearls. The stamp I used is from Inkadinkado.
Sorry the photo is at a weird angle. The sentiment and ribbon aren't really as crooked as they look in the photo.

Stop back a little later today for my Madelynn's Twinkling Tuesday challenge card. Hope you are all having a great day!

This card is GORGEOUS! I LOVE that stamp and love the simple, elegant backdrop for it that you created-it really makes it "pop" as the focal point. So, so pretty!

Heather, this card is beautiful!!!
Maybe it didn't turn out the way you envisioned it...but it really is wonderful. The DP gives it a vintage feel and the colors and pearls....very elegant!

This is beautiful, Heather, and it did achieve the look you were going for! I may have to try this challenge...great job (it doesn't suck AT ALL!)
It was definitely a challenge for me too, but yours turned out great. Love that stamp and how you did the ribbon!
Heather, this would be a true challenge for me as well. I love to layer (and layer) my cards & ad ribbon & lots of metal, so I would have struggled with this as well. However, I think you did a fine job accomplishing the challenge! I love how you extended the ribbon off the page. I've never thought to do that!
You did a beautiful job Heather!! I love the distressing on the edges as I think it gives it a more finished look with the papers and greeting!! It's very pretty!! :) I do this alot!!
