When I saw the beautiful projects by the Girl Fridays, I was overwhelmed. WOW! They did a fabulous job using ribbon in so many ways. I knew exactly what I wanted to do with ribbon for my card. Last year, for Christmas, I made my sister a mini album capturing the first few days with her daughter in China and at home. I used a ribbon flower technique that I had seen on Laurie's blog here. Excuse the poor image since the actual flower is out of focus.
So, today's card uses the same technique. I am pretty sure that saddle stitch ribbon is my favorite since there is no wrong or right side. My card also uses the colors from this weeks' Play Date Cafe challenge: Color Splash.
I inked up my new Studio Calico Stamp that I won from this week's challenge. Love the font! Thanks for looking!

In my **aha** moment when I uploaded my image to CAS-ual Fridays, I realized my entry is supposed to be a party card. So I went back to my craftroom to create a party card. Here is my new entry:
Stunning card. Love the simplicity. The IP image behind the flower is perfect.
