Today's
Stampin' Up Only challenge is to create an
elegant autumn project. That's it... that's all we got for a description. Hmmmm, this challenge was kicking my butt for a while. What is
really elegant? Heat embossing? Fancy ribbon? So many things like sponged leaves seem more rustic and vintage (think grungy, dirty) than elegant. I know... vintage can be elegant, so don't flame me. Just not the first thing that comes to mind.
These broad open challenges stump me for some reason. But here is where I went with my reasoning... elegant --> weddings --> fall wedding --> fall bouquet. Here is where I ended up.
Everything in the bouquet was sponged, and I used the fork bow technique for the ribbon. I'm still stuck on Cindy Elam's triple strip layout; I just love it!

Did you use the Scallop punch to create your roses? Is it with the 1 3/4 in scallop punch?
