This is the Technique Challenge 121 - long retirement cards: cards long enough for business envelopes and made with something retiring: colors, sets, accessories, etc.
My card is 8.5"x4" tall
I saw that someone who already posted their card for today (name escapes me right now) matched their card colors to their ribbon colors and I thought that was a fabulous idea. I bought this ribbon at an LSS and haven't used it, but realized that it's close to Lavender Lace, Cool Caribbean and Certainly Celery. To make the ribbon go that way around the card, I slit the paper enough to slide the ribbon through - the ribbon also disguises the edge of the French Script stamping.
I chose to use a set that's no longer offered: Musical Manuscript and French Script.
As I finished, I realized that I hadn't used any primas today *gasp of horror* so I found the perfect place
