Sylvia, From Portland, Oregon, made this card. She used two shades of purple ribbon that have 'eyelets' on each side. The ribbon was narrow, so she just used a second and/or third length of ribbon when required to fill up the space of the pattern. She completed this card by using corner punches and added the bouquet of flowers.
