I've been wanting to use the Sending Thankful Thoughts set for quite awhile now...so the brown seemed perfect for the silhouettes. I inked the image of the girls onto very vanilla and embossed in clear. I used the cuttlebug and the nestabilities to make the scallop/straight mats in sage shadow and the new MME paper, called Fresh Outdoors Natural Print. I stamped the chocolate chip base with hollyhocks (image from Embossing Arts Co.) with Adirondack espresso. The twill ribbon is from Martha S.
I am challenged when it comes to ribbon tying, maybe it's because I have boys and there were no bows to be tied! I would appreciate any tips or tutorials...it's that whole ribbon planning thing that I believe I am missing!!!
Thanks for looking...

Susan - your card is beautiful, and the ribbon looks terrific!! I adore that image and you're right, it's perfect in the chocolate!! I know what you mean about the boys - everything was velcro when mine were little!
