The CSS Alumni were sweet enough to let me join in the hop, thanks ladies!
This month's challenge was to create a card that contains only the following items and no others:
One Neutral color for your card base: White, Ivory, Black, Brown or Kraft (check)
Two different colors of card stock (check!)
One patterned paper (check!)
Three buttons (on flower centers, check!)
One color of ribbon (oops, does gingham count?! eek! it's just one ribbon, though!)
As little or as many images as you'd like (check!)

I inked over my flowers from "Wild at Heart" with a black marker, huffed then stamped them onto this Mariposa DP fron DCWV. I wasn't sure if the supplies were so limited that you couldn't use Nesties or punches, so I cropped my greetinginto a rectangle just to be safe! (Okay, now I'm wondering if my white and black count as colors?! hmmm...) This was my first time to try the gathered ribbon with Scor-tape, you like? It was fun to do!
Hope you are enjoying hopping! Please make you way over to Melissa Cash's blog!
