Flowers

Good Morning to all my lovely friends and followers well another challenge today over at Crafty Ribbons Challenge and the theme for this week is flowers. There is always a fabulous prize for the winner from The Crafty Ribbon store and I have to say they have some stunning ribbons on sale at present to fit all occasions

For my Design Team card I wanted to use a fab Pansy Ribbon so because of the strong colours I kept this card quite simple and  used a lot of white to compliment the ribbon.
