Here is my take:

Supplies:

Recollection Cardstock

Lily Bee Designs Patterned Papers

Michael's Ribbon

Studio G Stamp

Misc. Brad

I bought this ribbon awhile ago from those $1.00 bins at Michaels. I never really knew what I would do with it, but FINALLY this flower idea popped into my head!  I see everyone making beautiful ribbon flowers, but I never really have much luck.  I was pleasantly happy to see that this was wired ribbon, making it much easier for me :)

I hope everyone has a wonderful Wednesday! I am hoping things slow done soon, so I can get some crafting done!  Cannot wait to see what you come up with. If you need more inspiration, please visit the rest of the Perfect Sentiment Team members!

It's Wednesday, so that means a new challenge at the Perfect Sentiment!  We all know that Valentine's Day is next week, so if you haven't yet, get started on those cards!!!!

This week's sponsor is Shelly's Image. Please make sure to check out the awesome designs! The winner of this week's challenge will be able to select one digital image from the shop!

This week's challenge is to make a card from inspirational picture and to include the sentiment of "Love". 
Hopefully this picture will get those creative wheels turning!

I found the colors really striking.  I loved how much the white furniture popped with the pinks and greens. So I decided to make white the focus on my card.  I choose to emboss the design on it due to the print in the tablecloth.

Supplies:

Mohawk White Cardstock

Paper Studio Textured Cardstock

Cuttlebug Embossing Folder

Studio G Stamp

ColorBox Pink Ink

Spellbinder Tag Diecut

Ribbon
