Friend - grateful for you.

Happy Halfway-There Day!

Mmmm....ribbon. Big, pretty ribbon. I love ribbon. Just. Love. It. This particular ribbon I picked up at Practicing Creativity Designs. I've got some pretty papers from Graphic 45, a lil' Jenni Bowlin bingo card, stamps by Papertrey Ink, and some pretty Prima pearls and flower that I had leftover bits of. I don't use black cardstock all that much - even though I like it. I'm too lazy - too lazy to cut a white or cream insert to put on the inside so you can write on it. Even on this one - no insert; lazy, I tell ya'.

Beautiful ribbon! It's gorgeous! I don't often use black either but I've bought a gold/silver pen to use on the inside ;)

Oh this is gorgeous! Love the ribbon and the paper is divine! I'm one that doesn't use dark cardstock often for my base. White is my friend :)

Love the colors of your card (as usual). Great vintage look! Um and so how do you write on the black cardstock inside of the card? Metallic pen?

I love your big beautiful bow! This is gorgeous, Michelle! I'm bad about inserts. I always wait until the last minute when I'm rushing out the door, or the other night I had to add about 25 inserts to the insides of my cards to get them ready for my craft show. If I would have just done it from the start...

Oh, the black is a stunning backdrop for this card. And I love your little bingo card. I almost had black cs in my order the other day, then dumped it in favor of more ribbon ;)

You've really gotten your vintage groove down. Love it - even if there's no white insert. LOL
