My second challenge card


How I wish I’d bought this ribbon – thankfully I managed to scrounge some from Alison to finish off this card. And, luckily, she gave me enough for a second card, so I added it to the one I made the other day because I still wasn’t really happy with it.

The first card is clearly a remake of that old favourite, which you can see here and here. This version - the last in the Bonjour card trilogy - was for the colour challenge on In Love With Stamping. I’m not keen on the colour combination, to be honest, but thought I’d have a go… adding some Chocolate Chip to tone it down.

The second card is this card but with the ribbon added.

    I really like this colour combo. In fact, I like this card the best of your Bonjour trilogy!

    I think it holds it own place in the trilogy. I do like the color combo and that 5/8" grosgrain ribbon is just yummy, isn't it?

    *snicker* - I get these two blues mixed up all the time!! Good thing they look fab together.

    I think I'll be borrowing this newest card design, if you don't mind! I love it :)

    What beautiful colors! And the little buckle accent perfectly polishes this card!

    Really like this one - even like the colours! Great use of the stamp for accents here and there on the background, and again I love your simple layout - am learning a lot from you!
