VSN - Wilted Lettuce

My next card is for Chef Cindy's VSN challenge - Wilted Lettuce. Cindy recalls learning to make the perfect salad from some spirited Italian grandmothers. So for her challenge, we needed to use lettuce colors (spring mix counts, too!) with beige as the neutral, add a crinkled element, and an Italian sentiment.


So here's my card!



You can see that I went with the colors in the Spring Mix with my crinkly Baroque Burgendy posie. The 'leaves' are made from ribbon loops (I stapled the ends together), and I sewed a big brown button in the center of my flower. The flower was made by punching out flowers from two sizes of flower punch, then crinkling the cardstock, then attaching them to each other while alternating the petal overlap. I printed the Italian sentiment on my computer and broke out my sewing machine - I think I have it in a location now where I can access more easily and more frequently :)
