The image is a die cut decoupage sheet - I'm not a huge fan of die cut decoupage because however carefully you release and trim it, you still end up with paper tags - I can see one in the photo right now, that I'd missed while making it. But a friend gave me a gorgeous Gorjuss gift set last year and it has lots of decoupage sheets in it, so they are gradually being used. There are a few playing cards in the background of the design so I echoed those with a couple of real cards and a scattering of heart shaped stones.
The lower layer of ribbon looks a lot better in real life than it does on the photo - it is wire edged ribbon which I scrunched up tightly then gently flattened, to give a wavy edge. So what looks like sideways wobbles are actually up and down wiggles, if you get my drift. The wide ribbon looked a bit too big on its own so I topped it with some cute black floral ribbon.
Thanks to those ribbons, I am also sharing this with Glitter and Sparkle - Ribbons or lace.

This is so pretty, I love how you layered the ovals and the image is adorable especially the teddy bear peeking out of the corner. Beautiful job.
A lovely card for a teenage girl Jan. I really like all the detail you.ve added. Barbxx
