CAS

WOW..Are you seeing what i can see out of my window...SUN and blue sky i am amazed, LOL
Now here is my card i quickly put together last night for the Inspiration Blog over at Crafty ribbons.



The ribbon is an infusion ribbon and is beautiful, you can find it here , it is also available in other colours. because this has wire in, i was able to give the impression that there is a double  bow but there isn't, which is good because then i don't have to use all my gorgeous ribbon...lol. I have kept the card CAS so as show off the ribbon. Distressed my card with Tim Holtz pink shade  and added one of the lovely little butterfly's to the image which is a bugaboo image.
Thanks for stopping by today. Enjoy your day.
adding this card too the following challenges

Morning bloggers ..Thought i would share with you my card which i made for the CRAFTY RIBBONS inspiration blog, have you had a peek there lately, its full of fab ways to use your ribbons.
This card is using the Ric Rac, Polka dot and saddle stitch ribbon all from CRAFTY RIBBONS. The butterfly is from a die cut sheet from buzz craft. You could just add a flower or a sentiment to finish the card, instead of the butterfly if you wanted too.
