Good morning!! Today's card was made last weekend for the second November Viva La Verve sketch. Believe me when I say, it was a true challenge. The two ovals really threw me for a loop and I tried my best to make them work by having them blend in with the background :) hehe...but guess what? I actually love this card!! LOL I think the ovals add a whole lot of interest to the background of the card. Now, I will not take much of the credit for making them work, rather I will sing the praises of BasicGrey's Pyrus paper. It is gorgeous!! A beautiful mix of tapestry and fall colours :) And that seam binding ribbon is from Memrie Mare on Etsy. I love the way she sends her packages in used boxes and always adds a sweet bauble or antique button to her ribbon bundles :) The button on this card is one such treasure she added to my last order :) What treasures are you loving at the moment? I'd love to hear :) Have a wonderful day :)
