Two For One

Combined two challenges with this card:  this month's sketch challenge on the Hero Arts blog and the colors (Avocado, Blue Mist and Grey) from the current Play Date Cafe Challenge:


Flower and leaves are from Hero Arts (HA) CL495 Blossom Art and sentiment is from HA CL498 Celebrate Everyday.  I pleated the Martha Stewart seam binding ribbon using a trick I saw in a mag - adhere a piece of double-sided sticky tape to the card front and then starting from the left hand side (leaving a little "tail" at the end) pleat and stick the ribbon as you go.  Easy peasy!
Other Materials Used:  Lifestyle Crafts embossing folder, Stampin' Up cs, Bo Bunny pp, My Mind's Eye pp, Inkadinkado silver embossing powder, Papertrey ink scalloped border die, Hero Arts clear gems, Michael's pearls

I'm ridiculously proud of the fact I have a Mother's Day card done a whole month before I need it :)  Thanks for all your lovely comments!
