Mrs. Purdy with Ribbon

My friend sent some of these lacy ribbon die cuts for me to play with and I knew if I would just bide my time I'd be struck by inspiration.  I certainly do have drawers full of ribbon...  This snowflake ribbon was a perfect fit with a snowflake showing in each section.  It even comes with its own glitter.




After I made the frame I thought about Mrs. Purdy right away -- another gift from the same friend -- so I colored her with Copics, added a sentiment and, well, you can see how purdy Mrs. Purdy looks in her laced up frame.




I'll list the recipe for all parts below my signature.

Christmas card total:  23

Have a happy day!
