I used
Taylor's Cupcake Challenge Sketch #44 for this layout and am really quite pleased with how it turned out. I almost thought it was an all CTMH card, but the stamp is from SU, everything else though is from CTMH (other than the scallop nesties oh and the swirly die on the inside and the sentiment so I guess it's really half SU and half CTMH!!). I love the new colors from CTMH and these are a few of them!
This is the first time I played around with the ribbon to make something other than a knot or basic bow and really like it. After doing this one, I'm sure it'll be much less time consuming next time. I've seen something like this floating around out there in blog land and really like the look. Staying true to all of the dots, I used the polka dot ribbon too!
Here are a couple close ups of the inside, back and ribbon.
The kids and I are going to run into Bassano, my new computer is in and I'm excited to get it, so I think that's what I'll be doing this weekend!!
Hope you have a fabulous weekend and thank you for stopping by!
