You can't go wrong with October Afternoon paper.
I applied a vinyl cut out from EAD Designs.
Then I embellished it with some Hambly stickers and Maya Road chipboard pieces(the banners and little dress forms, sewing machines and scissors).
I covered them in Ranger Glossy Accents and then added Martha Stewart micro beads on top!!!!
I {big puffy heart} micro beads!
I thought that it needed a little sumthin' so I took a tape measure and ruffled it up along the bottom. The pink and black flowers at the top are also Maya Road.
Because it still felt naked on the sides, I found some tea cup hooks and added some ribbon.
I love the color and dimension the ribbons add. Clearly this isn't all of my ribbon...that would rip the sign out of the wall...I have ribbon issues.
I will leave you with a close up from the side:
