It was fun bunching up some ribbon with a stapler! I highly recommend it..super fun! I inked up the lined image in Regal Rose and the sentiment in Rose Red and stamped in on a retired piece of DSP. The flower die cuts were layered together and attached to the front panel with a big silver brad. Easy peasy!
