Nothing More Annoying

So, I've spent all day on a card for my grandma's birthday, and despite some initial worries, it looks really good. I've got a topper backed with vellum leaves that I want to attach to a mesh ribbon. Can I get it to stick? Can I heck!

I've tried sticky dots and DST, but it just keeps falling off. Saying that, attaching the ribbon to the card involved sandwiching it between 2 layers of DST on the backing paper and base card. I love the ribbon, and it ties in beautifully, so I don't want to change it.

I think I might be out to buy some good old fashioned PVA glue tomorrow. Perhaps that will soak through the ribbon into the backing paper and give it some stick. Keep your fingers crossed!

In other news, I finally succumbed to the draw of CD crafting and ordered the Click, Print Go/My Craft Studio Simply Sentiments CD ROM, and some super smooth paper to go with it. I can't wait for it to get here so I can play with it!
