I got this idea from Cathie Filian and Steve Piacenza @ Plaid. 
I knew I had to make a flower using our Hollyhock Zipper Lace (Z1826).  So here is my frame.  I used the For Always Paper pack (X7165B) and the Black Sparkle Flourishes (Z1745) also.   

I love how it turned out and plan on making many more flowers.  Unfortunately I have learned that the Zipper Lace is no longer available:(((  But I am going to start looking for zippers I can remove from old clothes!!! 

4/3/13 Update..zipper ribbon is available again...yea...doing the happy dance:)
