The hardest part of this card was deciding on the ribbon. I kept switching back and forth between this pale green and a sheer black. I had a lot of trouble making up my mind, but finally went with the green (obviously). Looking at it now in blogger, I'm wishing I used the black!
I was inspired to create this card when flipping through some of my new Basic Grey paper pads. I saw this green/red/white piece from the Mellow collection and immediately thought of my new Papertrey stamps. Then I realized that there was a lot of swirling going on too, so I used SU!'s Baroque Motifs to "amplify" it! Main flower is paper pieced and raised. I added a green brad from Joann's too.
This almost looks Christmas-y doesn't it? Hmmm....might have to think on that bit. Maybe if I used Verve Visual's Fancy Florals for the main flower I could make a poinsettia image!

With that background, a poinsettia would be perfect for Christmas!
I like the victorian look of the card. So pretty!
I actually like the green---it doesn't compete with the right side of the card. Outside Ithaca....where all the old hippies have gone to die. ;-)
Love it...it does look like a Christmas card. Very pretty.
Great card! It's very elegant. I actually like the green ribbon. I blends well with the pattern paper and allows the sentiment to stand out. Your whole design is beautiful so any ribbon would have worked.
Fabulous job!
