Thanks

We had lunch with friends a short while ago and this was the card I sent to thank them. In fact there was an ulterior motive in making this as I wanted my friend to see this particular ribbon. She had asked me to make a wedding card for their son's wedding and I wondered if this colour ribbon would be suitable for it. In fact she said that she would prefer something a little more mauve. So the information gathering ploy worked. I was able to go ahead and make the Wedding card, with a slightly more mauve ribbon!
This was made by masking a circle in the centre of the card and over printing with one of my Pocket Silhouette stamps from Stampin' Up using  Rich Razzleberry ink, then adding the bow made with my bow maker.

    I love how you have made the circle bigger. When I created mine orginally it was a small circle however i love the idea of the sentiment in the middle.
