This is stunning!! Absolutely Stunning!
I love the riviting embossed on the red. Why didn't I think of that?!? So glad that you did!! Not only does it make the perfect clip, but it pops!

This is a beautiful card. I love all the details especially the cute bow. Thanks for leaving the instructions in the General Stamping Forum - How to make this bow. Can't wait to try it myself. TFS

Beautiful card... Just added to favorites!!! Thanks for sharing!!!
I'm posting your instructions on how to make the bow so I don't forget... :O)
allee's bow instructions: The bow is threaded through holes made with a double slot punch. Have you done the one where you insert the ribbon from the top and then thread the ends of the ribbon back through? Well, to create this look, instead of inserting the ends back through, you push the center of the tail back through and pull up as much as you want to make the loops on each side. I use about 8 inches of ribbon and I push it through with the blade of my scissors. Then you finish off by pushing the ends up through the holes and adjusting them to the position you want before trimming them off. This is a pretty tight fit through the holes. I hope this is somewhat clear. It does better with organdy but as you can see on my card, it can be done with grograin as well.
