Yellow Floral Delight

Mornin' y'all!  I've got a sunny, happy card to share today:


At first I really wasn't sure what to do with this week's Atlantic Hearts sketch:


I decided to start with some DSP for the background and went from there.  I have a whole stack of 1/2" wide cardstock scraps on my craft table, but of course none of them were in the colors I needed to go with the DSP : p Then I had some technical difficulties in putting the card together--I glued down the DSP piece to the card base and then realized I needed to wrap the ribbon around it first, so I had to peel that up, and then I was like oh yeah the strips go under the ribbon too and really the ribbon and sentiment should have gone a bit lower but I didn't want to restick stuff again but I got there in the end.  Sometimes the creative process is just like that.  I added some low-profile gold dots to go with the metallic edging on the ribbon, but the pattern is so busy that you kinda have to look for them.  That's okay though, I know they're there.

That's it for now, y'all.  Cheers!
