Fav stamps/add lace or ribbon WLSC

 Hi Everyone, my DT card today is for We Love Stamping. This month, we would love to see your cards with the theme chosen by Cathy of  

Fav stamps/add lace or ribbon
   
 
My card today is quite simple, I embossed the bottom of the card layer, with an EF that I thought would go with the circles in the stamped image. It was then blended in the green I had chosen to use in the stamping.  The image was stamped above the embossing, and I coloured it quickly in watercolour style. Next, I stamped the sentiment. 
 
I should have picked the ribbon and matched the colours first, as I had a heck of a time, matching the ribbon. In the end, I decided on one that was very close to the green. I didn't have card the same colour, so inked a piece of paper and layered it, all then attached to the base card. Lesson learned, get everything together before colouring. 
 
stamps - Stamps by Me, Happy Home
inks - Distress Inks, bundled sage, picked raspberry, worn lipstick
embossing folder - WeR Memory Keepers, polka dots 
ribbon - Ikea

That's very pretty Faith and such a good layout. I do love a dotty embossing folder and the lovely soft shade to your ribbon. Hope you have a lovely Easter.

A gorgeous card Faith. I love the silky ribbon. You did a great job in matching it all up in the end. I find I start making things and don't know where they will end up until they are done. It is hard to know when you start xx
