Week 3, Card 2 - Summer Card Camp

I'm trying to get in early with a few cards this week, because I anticipate the rest of this week getting a bit busy, and I might not have time to do much cardmaking.  I know that next week, I will have very little time at all at my craft desk (I'll be teaching VCE genetics workshops all week - busy busy!), so I'm making the most of the first 3 weeks of Summer Card Camp.
Here's card 2:


I made the flower myself, using a circle of scrap card, sticking notched ribbon down in a spiral, then heating with my heat gun until the edges of the ribbon melt and curl up. (UPDATE : I have now written a tutorial on how to make this flower - you can find it here) The brad in the middle is from Stampin' Up - absolutely LOVE their antique brads.


The lace patterned paper is from Cristina Re - a good Melbourne girl!!  I actually prefer the black version of this paper, but gotta stick to the colour scheme :)  Cristina's shop in Collingwood, Melbourne is just adorable!  I have heaps of her papers and embellishments - all very elegant - you can see her embossed white card in the background of most of my card photos :)

    So pretty! Love the flower and the lace patterned paper is so pretty. I thought it was actually lace when I first looked. I'm loving this week's color combo.
