To Have and To Hold

This is the final card in what I called my "girl series" when I went on that stamping frenzy. It's funny, because I chose the last set of cards to showcase first - LOL! I actually started off making "boy" cards because I had a bunch of Manchester (also retired) scraps in my "scrap bag" (where I toss leftover bits after making a card). No worries though, I'll be posting those too over the next few days.

This card, again, features one of my favourite papers from the Bella Rose, the toile paper.
I stamped the sentiment in Rose Red on Whisper White Cardstock and matted on a piece of DSP from the Bella Rose Collection. The card base is Pink Pirouette with a layer of Whisper White and then a layer of the Rose Toile from the Bella Rose Collection. The finishing touch is a perfectly tied Whisper White Taffeta Bow.

Do you know the secret to a perfect bow? Come closer...closer...you have to tie it with your non dominant hand! I kid you not...one day last week, I had to tie a bow on a card and the way I had the ribbon set up, it necessitated tying a left handed bow (I'm right handed). It worked! So...I tried it again! And it worked again!!! So, if you normally make the loop with your left hand and send the rabbit round the tree with your right hand, try it the other way around and let me know your results!

What do you think?
