This card was recently received so I feel comfortable posting it now. I started with some woodgrain cardstock from SSS, and added a SNSS die-cut border with some teal cardstock, weaving some ribbon through it that has little clouds printed on it. I used a GMD die to cut the dragonfly from a piece of watercolored Yupo paper. then added the heat-embossed SSS sentiment with 3 teal colored gemstones.
I'd like to share this with these challenges:

Gorgeous card, Carol! Love the colors especially that pretty ribbon diecut! The embossing folder gives this card amazing texture as does the embossed sentiment! Beautifully done! TFS and have a great weekend! Stay warm, too!
Love the teal color and the way you wove the ribbon thru the die cut piece. That wood grain paper is nice too. The sentiment done white on black really pops! I need to remember to do that sometimes too! Have a great weekend sounds like it will be a chilly one.
This is so beautiful Carol! LOVE how you've threaded that ribbon through that border die and that dragonfly over the woodgrain is stunning!! I'm sure it was very well received! Thanks for inspiring my friend!

Wonderful card, Carol. I love the background and also the way you wove the ribbon through the border piece.
So pretty, nice choice to use the woodgrain cardstock as the backdrop for the yupo dragonfly. The teal pops against the white making a striking design x
