This is for the Inspiration Challenge presented by Brenda and the Color Challenge this week hosted by Pam. The colors are listed under the paper description and desert is to use sparkle.
I was inspired by one of the pictures Brenda shared for the vine and berries (no bird): Forums at Splitcoaststampers
I am very low on Very Vanilla cardstock with no good alternative. In my stash, I found this card base with the gold ribbon thread through two holes. I have had it for years but never used it and could not toss it. It sure came in handy today. To give the leaves more texture, I used the stamp kissing technique with the Canvas background stamp. The sentiment is gold heat embossed and double die-cut to get a rectangle instead of a square. I love hearts, so I embellished with two embossed die-cut hearts. For dessert I added Wink of Stella glitter pen to the berries & leaves and the gold ribbon has some sparkle to it.
Beautiful color combo. Excellent inspiration. TFL

Lovely card, Diane. The gold ribbon works so well with your gold embossed sentiment. I hang onto things too, and it must be great to have finally found a good use for it in this beautiful creation!

This is lovely!!! Reminds me so much of one of my mom’s embroidered tablecloths....and I see that you used the kissing technique with the canvas stamp to get this effect!!! So very fun and attractive. Love everything about this card! TFS

Kudos to you for pulling out that old stamp set and giving it some love. I have that one somewhere in my stash.
