Flourishes Timeless Tuesday Challenge FTTC12

This is the first Flourishes challenge I've entered. I've been in a "No Mojo Slump" these past week and it ALWAYS helps to participate in card sketches or any other challenge, especially with so many wonderful ideas out there. Over at the Flourishes Newsletter, Kimberly Crawford was the challenge hostess and she put out the challenge to use acetate. I have a BIG box of acetate that I won on eBay 4 years ago and so I had plenty to work with. This is what I came up with:

I wanted to do something different with my ribbon other than making a bow as I normally do. Fellow Bread Basket member Becca is always so inspiring with her ribbon work (among other things!) so I wanted to play around with my linen ribbon. I stamped the image on acetate and backed it with a polka dot paper that I ran through my Cuttlebug using my Swiss Dot embossing folder. I popped the acetate from the pink paper to show more depth. I also popped the Spellbinders frame by bending it in a little to make it convexed.
I VERY loosely based it on this week's SCS card sketch challenge (SC225):
Card Recipe:

Stamp: SU Upsy Daisy


Ink: StazOn Black, Versafine Onyx


Paper: DCWV La Creme pad, Making Memories Sabrina pad, white column cardstock


Supplies: acetate, Spellbinders Classic Frame die, Cuttlebug Swiss Dot ef, white linen ribbon, decorative button (shank removed), foam adhesive
