I have been doing some of the older sketch challenges and just love this layout. I am making myself use up my scraps and previously stamped images before I can buy anything new - YIKES! I don't know if the ribbon is too dark or the charm is right though. TFL

I love the card and the layout, but in my opinion, the ribbon should have the colour of the flower. I think it is a bit dark.. Hope you don't mind me saying that?

Pretty card. I'm guessing the colors look closer IRL. Since your matting is black, I think it looks OK, but what really matters is how you feel about it.

Beautiful card - love the colours. I agree with MaryAnnK- the ribbon matches the black mat so I think it looks fine and what matters is if you like it.

Although I dont know the first thing about making cards, I atleast have an eye for color/dimension and that's what this card is all about, girl! Your ribbon is stellar, Christine! Trust me, girl! It's so beautiful against your flower and brings to the forefront the rich texture of your dp! Love that charm, girl, love that charm. Now, what were saying about the ribbon?

I think the black ribbon is perfect. It brings the other blacks forward... and my guess is that IRL the stamped blacks and the matted blacks are darker. It looks beautiful to me.
