I was in Ithaca recently visiting my husbands Aunt Mary (technically a cousin) and his father. I've made this card as a thank you to his aunt for taking us in for the weekend and feeding us until we couldn't walk. Oy, the goulash!
We visited the Ithaca Farmers' Market whilst there. If you ever find yourself in Ithaca, you must go! There's a vendor there who sells fresh cut bouquets of vibrant flowers for cheap, cheap, cheap. Mary bought a bouquet with these gorgeous dark red snapdragons. That was the starting point for my card.
The card uses Riding Hood Red and Crushed Curry as the colour scheme. I had no ribbon in either colour (dangit!) so I improvised a co-ordinating strip using the polished stone technique on glossy cardstock. It turned out o.k., I think!
