Daydreaming of Flowers...

Hi Everyone!
Here's one of my favorites!  A super simple layout, with some stamping, layering, and a special knot, and here you have a super pretty birthday card.  I think this has a certain wow factor, and I'm hoping it's recipient thinks so too. ;)



 I love this trick.  And for once, I came up with it!  I'm sure it's been done before, but I don't think I've ever seen it and I think it's a great way to add a faux "brad" when you don't have the correct color. 
 Here's what you do:
Tie a knot in any color ribbon (a thinner width works best).
Punch a hole in your layer that needs the faux brad.  
Thread the tail end of the ribbon knot through the top of the cardstock. 
Adhere the ends to the back of the cardstock where you won't see them.
Use dimensionals to mount your layer, and you'll never know it was ribbon, and you have a custom coordinating faux "brad."
