I laid this on top of another Spellbinders die called 'Floral Oval' using Regal Rose paper. I added 3 pink candi brads in the right corner. I added Rose Red ribbon, Rose ribbon by Stampin'Up and pleated satin ribbon by May Arts on the bottom. Then I added 3 ribbons using Regal Rose, Rose and Very Vanilla by Stampin'Up.
