CR84FN, Retro Sketches

Good morning all, I have a very quick post today, as I'm off out to meet a friend, for whom this card is for! It's a very special birthday for her, you know, one of those one's with a 0 so I better not keep her waiting lol!

My card is based on two challenges, CR84FN, and the new Retro Sketches: and I'm also entering this into this month's Pretty Little Ribbon Shop Challenge.



And here's my take:



Papers are by Echo Park, and stamps are by Waltzingmouse and Prickley Pear.




I've used lots of lovely bling, and pretty stitching on this card, I really wanted it to be special!




The orange rose and bakers twine is from the Ribbon reel.


Thanks for stopping by, gotta dash!
