Mother's Day Card

At the link I shared in my post yesterday, I found a really inventive and cute technique to incorporate a ribbon flower right into the card. Here is what I came up with in my attempt.

I found the "how-to" tutorial at this blog and a cut file to use with Design Studio using the Plantin Schoolbook cartridge at this blog.  The cut file definately improvises on the technique, but I like the idea of being creative with our Cricut machines. I also made the small tag using Plantin Schoolbook.  The strip behind the tag was made with a border punch and I added some embossing with the Swiss Dots Cuttlebug folder in my Texture Boutique.  To finish it off, I made a large circle of the same cardstock to cover the ends of ribbon inside my card.  I thought it looked much more finished that way.

I really love this look and intend to use it again and again. What do you think?
