The Paper Players and SUO Challenges

Another Sunday is here and that means it is time for the Paper Players Challenge this week!  Nance is our hostess and it challenging us to use fabric on our cards!  I know you are probably thinking to yourself, "Fabric?  On a card?"  or "I don't have any fabric!!!"  Well I am fabricless at this point in time, so I decided to play with ribbon!

Ribbon is such a wonderful way to add elegance to a card!  I am in love with the Stampin' Up 5/8" Satin Ribbon and today I have used Marina Mist Satin Ribbon on my card!!  My card also uses the new Sale-A-Bration set called BLISS.  You can get this set for FREE with a $60 order!!!  It is a great deal right now and I knew that I wanted this set!!  I could imagine myself using it for wedding cards or even anniversary cards!!  I am also entering this card into the Stampin' Up Only Challenge to use a Sale-a-Bration set on my creation!!!


The main flourish stamp is used on the three panels of my card.  I used Night of Navy ink.  The flourish is also white embossed on Night of Navy at the front of the card.  To add something extra special to my card, I added a row of rhinestones to my ribbon, adding a little elegance! 

I hope you get the chance to visit the Paper Players and check out the wonderful creation the DT has made this week!!  Even if you don't have fabric, trying using some ribbon and see where it takes you!!!  Be sure to link up your card so we can stop by your blog for a visit!!

Thanks for stopping by!

Lesley
