This is my second post today. It's good to be back having fun creating -- I was in a bit of a funk for a few days last week!
Papertrey Ink's Make It Monday video was delayed until today but it was worth waiting for! Nicole shows us how to make a dimensional sentiment banner. Please check out her video because she can explain it much better than I could. I let the patterned paper do the work for my background but Nicole stamped a beautiful background and then added the banner. After adding my banner and the flowers I felt like my card still needed something. I added a pleated ribbon and even though I completely love the effect I don't know that I will do it again. It almost had me ready to scream it was so tedious. Anyone know an easy way to do this?????
My sentiment is from Papertrey Ink's Everyday Button Bits and don't you just love those light plum colored pearls -- I think they came from Michaels.
I'm going to save this for my mother-in-law's birthday. She can't see very well up close but this has lots of texture that she will be able to feel.

Beautiful card. You did a great job with the sentiment. Love the color, Love the look of pleated ribbon, but my problem was the ribbon unpleating after 2-3 days. I was constantly fixing it.
Wow! Betty this is a gorgeous soft card. Love the ribbon and the colors you chose! Love that shimmer banner you made!
Beautiful soft color palette! Great job on the challenge and I love the ribbon treatment. :)

I love your sentiment ribbon! I have to try and maybe scream too!This is just beautiful!
Betty,
The banner is just beautiful. I've never pleated a ribbon just gathered one.
Pretty and soft!
Beautiful card, Betty. Love that you used pp for the background (I wasn't clever enough to think of that :)
PS: Your pleated ribbon is lovely. I have used ribbon with wire edges and find it easier to fold.
So sweet...such an elegant and beautiful birthday card! The colors are so soft and beautiful.
Such a beautiful card! Love the soft colors! And the plum color pearls are so pretty! Wonderful creation!
Such pretty colors! The touch of green is a beautiful compliment to the lavender. The pearls on the banner are a lovely embellishment as well!
This is so soft and pretty. The pearls are lovely.
