wedding wishes (pleated ribbon)





Moxie Fab Tuesday Trigger.  TRIGGER.  Means sparks an idea.  Here is the trigger photo:

This Week's Tuesday Trigger



 OK, so the idea was cake. And Fancy Schmancy.  Adios pink and brown. But I love this card anyway.  I saw a photo (don't know where) of a cake with a "ruffled" tier and a banner.  Loved the idea and wanted to use it for this card for a local winemaker who's marrying a guy from New Zealand.

Used sketch #170 from CPS anniversary challenge:





Also have a card for CPS day 6 sketch #37:




Here is the sketch:



Used a fun technique on this one.  The bottom panel is watercolor paper, heat embossed and then  painted with color blocks of Distress Inks mixed with water.  This was a technique from Papertrey.
