Default Which ribbon?

I am making some notecards for my sister. I CASEd this layout from Stampin DI. My pretty in pink needs to be re-inked and the flower behind the word friend didn't come out very dark. Which of the 3 ribbons do you like better: striped, gingham, or black and gingham. Also, since the flower isn't very dark, do you think I should sponge or chalk some pink around the edges?

Thanks for your honest opinions!

I like the black and pink ribbon! I think a direct to paper or chalk in pink around the edges of the white would be a fun touch!!

This is a really cute card. I like the first ribbon. You may want to make the flower a little bit darker.

I would go with the striped ribbon for sure, not sure why exactly, but it looked the most polished.

stripes for me too! Maybe try another (darker) pink color for the flower behind the word "Friend"

I actually like them all! Great cards I was thinking "outside the box" and wondering how it would look with a black and white checked or dot ribbon for the contrast....but they all look perfect

I like the striped ribbon too. And the first thing I thought of was direct-to-paper in pink around the edges of the white paper.

Thumbs up Pretty!

I liked the first one too....with the stripes...but you are right, the flower is very light, hardly notice it at all. I' suggest making that flower a little darker and then either sponging around the edges or the direct to paper with your stamp pad. What if you dangled a little metal tag or something from the ribbon too? Just an idea....Great idea, Great Looking Cards! Thanks for sharing them....Keep up the Great Work!
