I created my card base by piecing strips of KaiserCraft Lilac Avenue Collection designer paper, giving somewhat of a pieced, quilted effect. Some dimensional tape pops up a border strip accent, ready to position the JustRite medallion.
A Bow Easy Bow made of May Art's Lavender Silk ribbon, along with a daisy, button, and May Art's Ivory twine finish this quick and easy card for a special friend.
ALL products used in this project are available at the Stamp Simply Ribbon Store.
