This is my card for SC540. I decided to "take charge" and make a square one instead of squishing the circle into an oval this time. It will have to be hand delivered and I have way too many people in my life needing to "get well" right now.
The BG squares is paper and the rest is cardstock. White panel is embossed and when I got to the "ribbon" across the bottom, I searched all over for something that would look good or enhance the focal point. Everything was too dark and would take away from the black squares which are a "light black". I finally cut the strip of black CS way down and I think it looks FINE. I hope you do too.

Great choices of colors, patterns, and love how the diecut flowers hang down over the thin black strip. Chic!
