You Are A Blessing My Friend

Happy Thursday, everyone! This is a quick post so I can beat a deadline! I missed this challenge last week so I want to make sure I'm in time :)
The paper is from The Paper Studio's Deja Blue stack. I used a Fiskars punch for the border. I cut the tag from Elegant Edges. It had one flourish and I used my Gypsy to add a flourish on the other side. I inked all the edges with Tim Holtz Walnut Distress Ink. The ribbon is from Hobby Lobby. The stamps are from K Andrews Design's Amazing You set. Click HERE to purchase your own set!

I used the sketch from this week's Die Cutting Divas for the design of the card.
I am entering the card in the following challenges:
Thanks so much for stopping by! Have a great day :)

    Ooh, this is so beautiful! The papers are gorgeous.. one thing I most love is that the color scheme and design make this appropriate for a male friend, too! The tag works so perfectly, adding another layer of scrolly-flourishy beauty. The inking and natural shade of ribbon tie everything together in such a lovely way. Excellent work as always, my friend. :o) (I love how you used the Gypsy to add another flourish! I hadn't thought of doing that.)

    Hugs and blessings! :o)
