Cottonberry Creations: Black and white fun card

Black and white fun card

This is a card I made for a teenage family member. I really enjoyed playing with the Black, white and grey coloured papers from Craftwork Cards. I particularly liked the soft muted flowers on the background paper. When it came to making the ribbon embellishment, I was just playing around with it trying to make a double bow. I did not have much luck with that and it turned into a flower bow. I still like it even if it is a little bigger than I wanted. I hope she will love this girly card.
I have entered my card into a few challenges listed below.
