Don't ya just love it when you see a sketch and know immediately what stamp set you will be using? Well in this case I used two stampin up sets: Bloomin' Love and Southern Serenade. I really like how well this card turned out. The purple and those polka dots just seem to make this a happy card, and that bow. Let me say I make bows how I tie shoe laces, so sometimes they don't lay flat, and I'm super picky on them. I don't know how to explain this very well, but when I tie a bow it always has the end pieces with one up and one tucked underneath the bow, it's still nice, and I use it that way.. but this little ribbon here today are both out from the bottom. YAY.. I used the fork technique, and it turned out perfect just very small. Perhaps I'll need to find a salad fork to make a bigger bow. 😉 Any ways, I don't think many people would even notice but of course it's something I see and just annoys me that I can't do it nicely.
Well after stamping and coloring I added a few little pearls on the card to reflect the white polka dots.
I will be submitting this card to the challenge at:
Thank you for stopping by for a visit.
Keep Smiling and Keep Stamping.
I hope you will take a look around at my other cards, projects and pictures. I'd love to have you follow my blog.
What pretty colors - love this stamp! Yes, the purple and polka dots go really well together! Like how you finished off the inside!

Lovely, pretty card! My trick for tying a bow is hard to explain but I do the "2 loop method" and tie it upside down! For some reason this works for me and my bows turn out. I am going to try the salad fork method and see what happens.
