Plum Crazy

Hi Everyone! I have a new card today for 3 challenges.

Challenges:
Pile It On: Thank You Challenge
Creative Card Crew: Ribbons and Gems
Moxie Fab World: Capture the essence of Plum

To me, Plum is a very elegant and chic color. And all of the inspiration photos just screamed "style" to me. So, I tried to make this card elegant, with very crisp lines and perfectly stamped images in the squares...

I also added some background stamping behind the squares. Without that background stamping there didn't seem to be enough lead-in from the squares to the ribbon - it just looked to thrown together without that...

A perfectly tied bow, secured with twine and a button. I added glass beads on the twine - I think this detail give the twine a more finished look...

A cleanly stamped sentiment... as well as some coordinating gems strategically placed in the valleys of the edging.

There is just something about this card for me. I changed my mind multiple times in the middle of creating this, but I am so happy with the result!

Thanks for Looking!
