Half way post for UnstampaBelles DT

Hello lovely bloggers,

Hope you have had a good week...

This is a card I churned out this morning for UnstampaBelles DT.
The challenge involves no stamps or digis and the theme this month is anything goes.

The inspiration of this card came from my special blog buddy Sandra who sent me a card similar to this one a while ago. Thank you, Sandra!



 I wove a mauve silk cord through a Spell binder  nestie and attached my home-made flower on to it. 

The "create a border punch" is from MS (not very clear in the picture but quite pretty in real life). The DP is unknown and the feathers and ribbon are from my stash. The crystal is from Prima.

I seem to be getting deprived of my mojo of late... hopefully it will come back soon.

Thank God it is Friday!

For those of you celebrating Chinese New Year, here is wishing you a wonderful year. May the dragon shine in on you...

Hugs,

Monica

What a unique style Monica-- I would never have thought to do that with the silk cord.I bought some from a shop a while ago and so far didnt know what to do with it-- Thank You for sharing this awesome idea!

I see you too are a nesties fan Monica I find them quite addictive but they also make such lovely cards especially with such a pretty colour as you have used with your feather,flower and ribbon.

Hi Monica!! I don't think your mojo is missing!! Brilliant idea to weave a silk cord through the die cut! The feather and ribbon are so delicate and elegant looking and I love the flower and border punch. Over the top sweetie! Hugz xoxoxo
