This is my third challenge card. Are you happy now Anne!! Seriously I really appreciate your confidence in me. Thank you.
Well this is a challenge right up my alley. I freak out when I try to embellish a card, especially with ribbon. I embossed the image in black and sponged three shades of blue to make the light in the middle. This reflects my life right now. Lots of stressful things going on but I have the hope of a good ending in the future......
Thank you for looking and comments appreciated.

Sputnik/CJ let me the first to tell you how happy I am to see in the challenges! This rocks, girl. Trust me when I tell you I could never have created a card like this! Your sponging is just fabulous, CJ. Honestly, I'm a nice Catholic girl who never tells a lie, so let me just tell you this is really one heck of an exquisite card! I just made myself the judge for today, not to be confused with Queen for the Day, and I am declaring this card to be the winner! Sorry Nutmeg. Sis wins out this time!
Fab card, girl!

Wowzer! Two cards in one day! Not to mention the three you loaded yesterday but are now lost somewhere in the vast universe of the SCS site! Anyway, this is just the most stunning card I have seen! I love your three shades of blue for the light in the middle. That is just perfect! Your tree is amazing for this. Plus I like that you didn't center the main image on the page, but offset it. Very nice! The extra tree limbs on the side are a great final touch. This just a very stunning card with the perfect sentiment! You did super good on this one sis! Luv Ya! TFS :0)

what a lovely card! I so understand about the ribbon thing...I've even asked about a SCS school of ribbon art before! The depth you acheived with the sponging is stunning and like others have said, the off centered image is much more interesting! I pray there will be more sunshine down the road.
