Anyway, while in Calgary visiting with Dana and the grandchildren, we went shoppping for bedroom bedding and window coverings for Dana's room. While shopping, we both saw a bedroom set that Dana's youngest sister, my youngest daughter, would love. Dana took a photo of it right there and sent to Lerina's phone. A while later, Lerina texted us back with something like "Cool!"
With Lerina's 24th birthday on the 21st, I decided to use that bedroom set as inspiration. Lerina's favorite colour is black and then any colour that goes with it. Though I think red with black is her favorite combo. So here is the card.
I'm a little unhapy with this photo because the flash went off. But since I had made this card yesterday, and sent it off this morning, I no longer have the card to retake photos.
I used the sketch, as closley as I could, from Freshly Made Sketches 41, and here is the image of the bedroom set I found online.
With the ribbon only being 1 1/2" wide, I was not able to keep as closely to the sketch as I wanted, because I had to use the lacing from the cushion on the card. That is something else that Lerina likes.
Here is the closeup of just the cushion.
I used white eyelets on the plaid ribbon and uses a black 1/8 inch ribbon to feed through them.
Here are closeup photos of the card below.
Thank you so much for checking in to have a peek.
