Let's See May's Card Chain Challenge Project

 Card Chain Challenge Reveal

Out of all the options available, I chose Ribbons to work with.  I thought that if I could use Washi tape to make a background, I'd try the same with ribbon.  I had bought the frame die set and thought I'd try it out.  I remembered I had a flower that might fit perfectly within the frame and I think perhaps I should have used black for the lettering, but I thought the brown would match the brown disk on the daisy.  I still like it and I hope my mailing buddy likes it too.
I cut the flower & stem out of bright yellow cardstock and colored the flower to enrich the yellow already there and added green to the stem.  


Supplies:
Whimsy Stamps Spring Rectangles die set (Brand new die set  never used before)
Memory Box Happy Daisy Stem
Altenew XOXO & More die set
Ribbons in Stash
Copic markers E37, Y06 & YG03

This is so clever and so pretty, Arlene! The flower and frame work beautifully with your ribbons and I think the brown was a great choice for the sediment! Thank you for inspiring everyone to use their NBUS! Hugs, Darnell
