I'm pretty proud of this card because I actually tried a new technique - ribbon braiding! Not sure if there's a tutorial out there, but it's easy. You can probably just figure out by looking at the card. All I did was punch 3 holes on each side, threaded the ribbon through one set of holes, braided it, and threaded it again through the other set of holes. It's been a while since I've done anything new on my cards. Oh, and I also used two different Stickles so that the glitter on the heart has some shading.
Hope you all have a fantastic weekend!
