Well at last, I have done it, after a LOT of umming and aahing, I decided to look at my 3 Cricut cartridges, that came with my machine and decided it HAD to be from one of these as I didn't know how to make the beautiful flowers that have been made for this challenge.
I cut a cake and stand from the Straight from the Nest cartridge embossed with my 3 cuttlebug folders added a lovely ribbon with hearts I had in my stash, added, my always on a card, Stickles, then added more ribbon behind the cut out middle pieces to add a little more glitter, printed my card with grey (hope it's not too dark) and there you have it, (Easier said than done though)
I think I'm pleased, but always have to wait until the next day to decide, crazy ay?
Edited, - Loved KathyK comment about the ribbon panel looking like a garter, think I'll mention this to a prospective buyer, lol
EDITED 2 2/6/11 - I have put this in to Bitten by the Bug, I don't know the rules, so don't know if I am allowed to do this, if not I apologise.
Faith, this is gorgeous. Hugs Denise xx
