We're continuing with our ongoing Saturday feature:
this week featuring SUEDE May Art's Ribbon!
I'm playing along, even though, yes, you've guessed it...suede is still travelling with the rest of my supplies. Someday I will gladly announce the big arrival...LOL...until then I will continue to play along, making substitutions where possible. Thanks so much for your patience!
My design for today is purposefully very neutral. I was aiming for just a hint of color on my Copic colored LaBlanche "Peony" stamped image. I can also picture this image colored in a vibrant fushia color...just like the peonies that bloom in my MIL's yard.
The base of the card is covered with a french text print from 7 Gypsies "Conservatory" paper pad.
The middle layer of designer paper is from Prima's "Botanical" 6 x 6" pad. I just love the muted fleur de lis print with the pale gray ferns and foliage running along the edge. This print inspired the entire card coloration...soft and muted.
My "suede" for today is actually a border of 1/8" narrow black velvet, layered over black May Art's Wrinkled Ribbon. A little "Vintage Trinkets-Lock and Key" charm adds the final touch.
All supplies today, minus the Copic Sketch Markers, are from The Stamp Simply Ribbon Store.

Deb, your choices for the "neutral" colors of your card are right on. This is an elegant/simple card (if that makes sense). Thank you for sharing. Hope your "stuff" arrives soon.
Just stunning and oh so elegant! Love your design, image and beautiful ribbon!

Hi Deb!
This is a beautiful card! I am sorry all of your paper craft things have not caught up with you yet!
I love the neutral colors...and was so glad that you pointed out the middle layer of paper, with the soft ferns and leaves. I wouldn't have known how to use it...and it is beautiful. The peony is beautiful...the Suede ribbon is STUNNING! I had 3 small pieces of suede once, and I couldn't believe how it made my card improve!
I would be so excited to win these delicious ribbons!
I will write soon. Very chaotic here lately. Trying to play catch up!
Thanks for sharing!
