I don't really do ribbon...

I don't really "do" ribbon well (I will push myself to get it right one of these days) so here is my take on the Clean and Simple sketch this week.
Cardstock is Old Olive and Whisper White, with Chocolate Chip DSP. There is a hint of Old Olive ink sponged around the edges of the WW. The ivy stamp is a Montarga favourite which now that I use it I see needs replacing. That's got to be a first for me - but it is one I have used sooo much, I just couldn't imagine not having it in my collection.
Something I mentioned in one of my recent posts is that I would imagine most of the current challenges featuring leaves and flowers are being inspired by spring. Over here we are now surrounded by autumn, and my cards are reflecting that.

  3. You're right - we tend to be influenced by the seasons in our card making. I love your Autumnal card - I'm not surprised you've used that leaf a lot, it's stunning.l
