GC#134 Spicy Supply Challenge

It may be snowing like crazy outside my window today - yea!!! :-) but I'm thinking about flowers this week with my project for the Gingersnap Creations Spicy Supply Challenge where the chosen supply is ribbon. I made these little notecards using up some scraps of ribbon from my stash. I used a Stampotique Originals stamp called "the wave" to stamp a simple border on the card and if you look closely, you'll see the same stamp used on a ribbon scrap in each flower. I created an epoxy circle button for each flower center using a word cut out from another Stampotique stamp called "word collage". Quick and easy cards!

Enter your project using ribbon on the GC blog post HERE by February 5th and have a chance to be the one randomly drawn winner of a $30 certificate to the Stampotique Originals online store!
Now go get those ribbon scraps and have some fun creating :-)
