I really really like your card! Love that it is a shaped card. I'm gonna have to try my hand at making some shaped cards. I'm getting more comfortable with my Gypsy now so I will be doing more things like this with her. I love the heart on the trunk of the tree. Perfect!!! My favorite ribbon color is brown. I know, not a bright cheery color but it just goes with just about anything!! Have a wonderful day!!! :)

oh this is just so so sweet. I decided to look at more of your work while I was here and wow, you really do really great work. I am so glad that I stopped here. I am now a follower and will be here all the time to see the new art that you are creating. Now about my ribbon color choice.....I think I love ribbon as much as I do paper, I love it all but I am especially fond of the pinks and purples. Once again, really great card...can't wait to see more
