I have that color, but I don't think it's close. Soft Sky is more muted, almost gray. I love it, but I wish I had a wider ribbon like it! Thanks, though.
I bought a "dashes, dots, and checks" ribbon at Michaels that is just a touch darker than the SU soft sky ribbon...but the same hue. It is a 3/8 inch double stitched grosgrain just like the SU one.
I found some at Walmart in satin. I didn't see it with the regular rolls of ribbon, just with the ribbon you get by the yard. They have a few different widths. It's a tad brighter that soft sky, but it still looks great IMO. HERE is a card I used some on.
ETA: They also have some that's really close to Pink Pirouette, and one that's brighter than chocolate chip, but still looks good with it.

Wow, that's a beautiful card, and the ribbon is a perfect match! I'm going to have to check out the dreaded WM! Thanks!
If you happen to own the reinker, you can custom-dye any ribbon! Just mix a few drops of the ink with a roughly equal amount of water (the ratio varies depending on whether it's a darker or lighter color), then heat-set -- I use the dryer, LOL! I've found this is a superior method to dragging the ribbon across the ink pad, as the color does not "fade" when the ink migrates to the core of the ribbon.

Yeah, it was such a great suggestion I had to go and spend MORE money for Copics! :twisted: Not many, mind you, just those odd colors that usually don't come in ribbon.
That was a great idea though, thanks Gina!

I have that light blue satin ribbon from Wal-Mart. I thought is was such a pretty color but have never used it~! I would have never thought about it matching soft sky but it looks really great with your card. I'll have to check out the pink pir as I think my WM has that too. Thanks!
Soft Sky Ribbon Match?
