Passing the torch

Well, my month as torchbearer for Amber Ink has come to an end and I'm excited to pass the torch onto Ashley Nguyen Newell, a very talented papercrafter who designs beautiful cards!

I also wanted to share a card that I made for my friend, Kathy, who's celebrating a birthday today, which fits perfectly with Bethie J.'s Papertrey Princess challenge, to make a birthday card. I also incorporated this week's Make It Monday at Papertrey Ink: ribbon pleating.


I used PTI cardstock (stamper's select white), stamps (think big favourites #7), button, twine and die (mat stack #5). The green cardstock is SU!, the ribbon & fabric are from Walmart.

Thanks for looking!

    Wow--I love how you have covered your entire card front in fabric. It looks so cool. And, your pleated ribbon is so---pleated! I'm impressed. I am posting one for tomorrow, and it came out more scrunched than anything. I'm sure your friend will love her card.

    The tropical color combo is a breath of fresh air in this fall/winter transition! Beautifully done ribbon, too!
