Glitterati {Fun}

This weekend, I saw an ad on the Vera Bradley site.  It had bright flowers on a white background. As soon as I saw it, I knew what I was going to create!  So, I grabbed the bright and wonderful Memory Box Glitterati papers and got to work!

First, I gathered my Glitterati scraps and my Memory Box Swish Flower {D698} stamp.  I stamped five flowers on the scraps.  I also recycled a Memory Box white notecard that Dave's wife, Monica, sent to me.  She had written a nice note on one side but the other side of the card was not used.  So, why not recycle a part of it! :)

Then I cut out the flowers, punched a border on the edge of the white notecard, and played with some ribbon. I wasn't sure if I wanted to use the green or orange ribbon for my card. What do you think I should use?  Can you guess what I picked?  You will see here in just a minute.

Then I took the ribbon I chose and wove it through the punched border.  I also stitched a black seam along the edge of my card.  And did you guess I would pick orange? Would that have been your choice?

And here is the final product.  I love bright, and this just turned out exactly as I had hoped!
