This is for Color Challenge 411 - Lucky Limeade, Island Indigo and Daffodil Delight. I added a Baha Breeze card base - just had to do it. Did this in the midst of completely revamping my studio (we moved everything), so I'm surprised it got done at all. It's also my first foray into ribbon. I was going to put a small bow on this above the focal image, but in the end, and after watching ten bow tying tutorials and getting all kinds of tips on how to adhere it (which I will save for future reference!), I decided I didn't like how it looked. So no bow. But thanks for all the help guys! I'll put a bow on the next one. That will be my self-imposed dessert!
Thanks for looking!

Oh, that definitely doesn't need a bow, it's perfectly elegant without. It has a lovely rather Victorian feel to it - maybe because your image panel reminds me of a cameo. I have a large version of that stamp - you've reminded me that I have a stamped-off image waiting to colour from when I was experimenting with detailed stamps on different watercolour papers ;-).

Rachel, your card is really pretty with that baja base. And sometimes the bows can be more of a distraction than an asset. I like this just the way it is.
