I changed the colors and added some elements. I colored white ribbon by dragging it over my EE inkpad. The Elegant Eggplant bg is stamped with canvas. I used the double rectangle punch to put the slots in the sides of the sentiment plate for the ribbon & rounded the corners with a circle punch. I distressed the edges of the main image with CC, & added frosted lace stickles to the big flower in the center, but I’m not too thrilled with how that turned out. My card is 5 ½ x 5 ½.

I really like the colors here. You used the 2 lengths of tabs again, and the ribbon threaded through the tag is pretty. Makes me want to go and create a bunch of one sheet wonders to match your card. You said you didn't like the lace on the flower, but I think it adds texture and interest.

I bet your sister loved this card! I love how this original color combo worked out. I would never have thought to use these colors together, but the effect is stunning!
