Blessed Christmas

Photo Details

Poster: bensarmom

This is for sketch Challenge 153 today. I got my Peaceful Wishes back from a friend tonight and wanted to do something with it for this challenge. I'm not really liking the ribbon at the top. I wanted some gold at the top to accent it and to continue the gold that I brushed on the edges of the card. Any suggestions?

I love how you stamped off the background and then added the sentiment! So perfect with the whole layout of the card - simple and elegant! I keep looking and looking at this set -- I need just to BUY it! TFS

This is lovely! The ribbon looks o.k. but if you wanted to improve it, you could change the color of the ribbon and go with maybe something more like the browns of the card. Love the touches of gold.
