Toughest Challenge EVER!

Hi all - my title may be a little misleading. This really isn't the toughest challenge ever, but for me - creating a card with only 3 layers, two embellishments and one sentiment is one tough card to create. But that is what the i {heart} papers Design Team was charged to create for our August challenge.


I really struggled to come up with a design - at least one that I was happy with. I have to admit that this card would be super simple to mass produce, if one was so inclined. A card base, two die cute, a ribbon and brad - throw in a bit of stitching around the outside and you're done.

I am really looking forward to seeing how the other Design Team members did with this challenge. One thing for sure; with such a talented group of papercrafters, they are sure to inspire, so make sure you pop on over and visit their blogs for a look see.
