Mmmm, when I saw this challenge I thought it would be easy!! I've made quite a few 'inchie' type cards recently using 3,4, 6 or 9 squares depending on the size of the base card. But when it came to ideas I went blank! Does this happen to everyone?
Anyway I had a quick look through my notebook and found this phrase. It was just crying out for 3 squares. As I've said before, I'm not great at stamping and I don't have many stamps, so this was designed in my favourite programme, Publisher. I printed out on the 'spare' from the card I was using for the 5 inch base card ~ a lovely ivory pearl colour and then heat embossed it. I added gold ribbon and 3 tiny chocolate coloured pearls (though they look a bit pink in the photo). Light not very good for taking photos today so it looks better in 'real life' I think.
Thank you for taking the time to look.

The way you've used the ribbon a reoccurring bold line is very effective - one of my favorite tricks! Very well done!

Lovely card - I have this phrase on a couple of stamp sets - might try stamping separately after seeing how ell the words look on their own!

Like the idea of using a sentiment instead of an image, keeps it really clean & simple. No idea what I'm doing yet!
