I love this image and have made a couple of cards with it but the really good part of this card is I made my first awesome ribbon. Anne Ryan can do these in her sleep but I had to buy a Bow Easy to make mine. I do not care that I had to cheat, Annie Jo. I hope it keeps me on the Schirmcat's naughtly list. I have made a few dozen ribbons and they all look good!!! Yeah, I am one happy person!!!!
I colored the image with Stampin Up reinkers and aqua painter. That is my favorite way of coloring. Kris (parkerquilter) taught me how to do it and I have passed it on to many friends.
Thank you for looking. I stayed dressed up to take this picture in front of my tree because it felt elegant too. Anne Ryan is my inspiration!!! Comments appreciated.
hugs,

My oh my! What a pretty bow you have made Sis! I so enhances your beautiful card here. Love your coloring and the eb bg. Your pearls are a nice touch as is the gold stamping in the corner. WELL DONE! TFS :0) Note to Miss Anne, the bow war has started!

Oh, Connie Jo, or Sputnik, or whoever you are!! Are you related to Anne Ryan as I detect a little clashing of personalities here too!!! LOL!!! I read your comment on Anne's self portrait card dedicated to me! Too funny!! I LOVE your card. It's GORGEOUS for sure. I just bought one of those bow easies too, but I can't figure out how to use it. I'm sure once I figure it out, it will be easy, but until then, it's the "bow confusing" to me. I even watched a video. I'm really more bow challenged than I thought. You did a spectacular job on your bow even if you did cheat. Having a great bow and cheating is better than having a rotten bow or no bow at all, so I say keep cheating!!! I'll never tell!!! That Anne Ryan could tie a great bow with a blindfold on. It's not fair, is it? TFS!!!

Oh, sounds like I'm being threatened (sp) up above by someone known as a Mrs Mutnick. This woman sounds like a KGB. I'm not too sure I'd want her comments on one of my cards. She's even talking about a bow war! yikes, I'm heading out: I dont own a bow and arrow.
Oh BTW, Sput, this is just one masterpiece right here. I love your embossing folder and you color just as good as this Mutnik lady! The major difference is that you color normal images beautifully and that other lady (who I see goes around calling you Sis) colors things she makes up in her mind. Does she need money, Sput? Is that why she has to handdraw so much of her work? All kidding aside, your card is stellar. It's rich in texture and colors. But, when all is said and done, it's the ribbon that pulls it all together so beautifully. I knew there was going to be some competition, but I never expected it to be this great. Now I'm really outta here!
