Welcome to our Stampendous and Creative Impressions Blog Hop! This week the Stampendous Design Team is sharing our creations that feature some of the wonderful ribbons and embellishments that Creative Impressions has generously provided us. They are the perfect finishing touches to our designs. And what's a Blog Hop without some PRIZES!
Today my card features several stencils, some glitter, and, of course, a beautiful ribbon. I think it would make a wonderful wedding or anniversary card.

ReplyDeleteYou really deserve a prize for this absolutely exquisite card; I just couldn't keep my eyes off of the beauty of the whole talented piece that you have created. Everything was done to perfection and a lot of thinking must have gone into it. It could be used for any posh occasion and it is so delicately done with the stenciled embossed crystalised swans and the subtle blue and white colors with the ribbon tying the splendid scene together. The superbly delicate cloud just seems to be floating among the elegance.
