Ribbons and flower cards

The second card has a narrow strip of cotton fabric on it instead of a ribbon.  This is the one I made while on the phone with Okieladybug the night we decided to make these cards and I didn't have any wide ribbon on hand.

It's 100% cotton fabric, that's the only kind that will tear straight across the grain and leave a nice fringed edge on it.  It's layered on a torn strip from an old book I picked up in a "free" box at the library.  The flower is made using  SU punches and a scalloped circle SU punch, it's assembled with a brad.

The sentiment was computer generated and punched.

The first card has some of the ribbon I got from Okie.  The flower and leaves are from Graphically Speaking.  I think the paper is some of what I picked up at the Arlington Convention.

These cards are blank inside and will be sent to Cards for Soldiers.  The military personnel use them to write home.

***sorry about the order of the card photos!  but since my new blog is pretty much a crap shoot at this point, I'm just proud I figured out how to get the pictures on the same page as the description!***

Thanks for stopping by to see these.  And I promise I'll try to get more blog savvy!
