I am so happy with the way these turned out. I used the Blue Ribbon paper package that Laurel sent to me from CTMH. I am really loving the coordinates. Makes it a lot easier having all the right colors at your fingertips. I did paper piercing, stitching, distressing, inked and embossed the frame that Lance is in. It looks very bright but IRL it matches. They look much better side by side.....
