I decided on a very quick and classic card today so that I could announce the winner of the Ribbon Ring from the 'Freebie Friday' blog candy this month. Rando.org kindly picked number 15. Congratulations Mary! Email me with your details! Thank you to everyone who left a comment - I love to read them all!

Todays card uses the beautiful textured cardstock Vixen Cream. I've cut it to a square 14cm x 14cm card and used my square Spellbinders to emboss in the centre of the card. This is the largest of the square Spellbinders, just to give you an idea of size.
The centre image is from OCL Growing Gratitude, and I have stamped it on some watercolour paper using Palette Burnt Umber, and watercoloured with crayons. The image was then cut with the Spellbinders squares and embossed. It's very hard to see in the photo, but the image has been raised with dimensional foam, and I have added some co-ordinating paper and cardstock to the inner panel, and the rhinestones are bright pink!
Thanks for stopping by!
Happy stamping,
Congratulations Mary! Very sharp card Andrea.
I have never seen that paper; perfect choice with the gentle flower. Love your blog; Thank you!

Hi Andrea,
You've been making some lovely cards while I have been away travelling around.
This card is particularly elegant- a beautiful, classical style.
I also love how you put the ribbon on quite a few of your other cards- a little pleat or a flat bow- it just gives them a stylish individual touch.
