If you've ever watched Emeril on Food Network you will understand my title. He kicks things up a notch with garlic, or wine and says "BAM!" when he does it. We are kicking it up a notch with a card in this challenge.
I actually created 3 cards for this challenge:
1) One layer card, ribbon knotted on stem, sentiment stamped directly on base card.
2) One layer card, using reverse masking with More Marigold and a big satin ribbon wrapped around the card fold.
3) Multi-layer card, small green satin bow on main image. Main image created by embossing the stem in white DP, sponging on that with More Marigold, Blue Bayou, Old Olive. Main stem mounted on More Marigold and Basic Gray. Gray corners made with the SU punch, dots with white Sakura pen. The sentiment is stamped on Marigold cs, punched out with the Word Window punch, up on dimensions, on an Olive oval.
I won't say which I like the best. Which do you prefer? Thanks for looking and voting.

Wow! They are all so pretty. The one with the most frippery on the right is amazing. Love the sponged background. But I like the simplest one on the left best. I love simple elegant cards. Great job on this challenge!
