A challenge or two!

I have combined the Penny Black Saturday Challenge with the Cute Card Thursday challenge.
For the PBSC you needed to use ribbon and for the CCT challenge you needed to use something associated with soft furnishings.
The ribbon is self explanatory and a little less than I would have liked but less is more as my hubby often quotes!!
The soft furnishings aspect comes from the stitched orange backing paper and the ribbon.
I have been really brave on this card and gone for bright orange and green, and it seems to have worked.
The stamps are obviously PB , the flower paper is DCWV Pocketful of Posies matt stack, the flowers, brads and ribbon from stash.
I have made this for a friend for her birthday - just hope she likes orange!!
