I made a card today for the DirtySpiesJuly14 challenge on Splitcoaststampers. To enter, you should find a birthday/party card from a Dirty Dozen, current or past. This is the card I cased: http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/gallery/photo/2165342?&si=MakiJ Her card is beautiful.
I'm using a new hollyhock die, a new fence die, and a grass punch. I stamped clouds in the background. The gingham ribbon is threaded through the die.
I made my card as a side opener which I don't really like to make. But, I was trying to accomodate the tall hollyhocks. I did finally cut some of them off, though.

Such a beautiful card - love the die you used. I have that die and I did not think to use it with ribbon - thanks for sharing and thanks for the idea!!!
Brenda, this is so pretty. Love that hollyhock die you used and the fence in the background is fabulous. Great ribbon weaving with the gingham ribbon!

Liebe Brenda,
die kleine Natur Szene auf deiner Karte ist einfach wunderschön von dir gestaltet und das Band gefällt mir auch sehr gut. Eine sehr schöne Sommerkarte, die zum träumen einlädt.
Liebe Grüße und einen schönen Tag, Anja ♥
A wonderful flower garden :)

I'm in complete shock! Today I made a card using the hollyhocks along with that exact same SNSS birthday sentiment! LOL That's too funny! I love your card and the beautiful scene you've created! The ribbon woven through the die cut looks so pretty too! NJ!
This card is beautiful! A little more than the CAS that you usually do! I truly love it! I love the ribbon woven through the die cut. I love flowers and this card makes me feel happy!
Of all of the flowers, hollyhock and morning glories are my oldest favorites. A fun summer card that brings back fond memories. Beautifully done.
Some delicious dies on this pretty card, and you've used them so beautifully. Love those stamped clouds & the red ribbon threaded through the die cuts looks festive & cheery. TFS & Hugs
