Love and Sympathy

I'm working on a set of cards to give as a gift to someone for Christmas.  She doesn't see my blog unless Linda shows her, so Linda... don't show Karen!  This card was spotted on Splitcoaststampers posted by Roberta.  She used a different color and different ribbon.  I wanted to show off some of the new ribbon that will be available in the Spring Mini beginning on January 3rd.  Isn't it beautiful?  It will be available in three colors.  This one is Melon Mambo - one of my very favorites.
