I had to laugh at myself. While I was making this card, I kept thinking to myself "where am I going to put the ribbon"? It was seriously stressing me out. Then I laid it all out before assembly and decided it didn't need ribbon. Didn't need ribbon?! That's a foreign concept to me!

OH. MY. Goodness. Holly, this is just STUNNING!! I love the color combination (and I think this is going to be a go to sketch for me!!). Your flowers are GORGEOUS and I love the fact that you embossed the base layer!!

Thanks for hosting today's challenge. The real mojo here is the inspiration of this card. If I ever hit a dry patch I either stare at my stamps hoping one will cry "pick me" or get inspired by looking at beauties like this card of yours.

Holly I had to laugh at your comment about trying to force a place for a ribbon on your card. I do that all the time. Your card is gorgeous and you posted such a great challenge! Hope you're feeling better!
