Earlier this week, I got a package of new goodies from PaperTrey Ink. I love playing with new stamp sets and papers! Although, I am now on hold to not by anything else until after Christmas.... we'll see how I do!On to my cards...I did two challenges at once with this card. Dawn's Raspberry Sweet Challenge and Keesh's Inkspirations Challenge.
Some of the details: I turned the sketch sideways for the card and used one of my Martha Stewart punches for the scallop. I then added the ribbon...and actually used my sewing machine to sew it on and pleat the ribbon at the bottom. When Pat came into the room as I was making the card and I showed him I had sewed the ribbon on, he said, "When is the last time you used that thing?" Been a while (years)! Now that it is out again, it will be getting a lot more use. I then used some Fancy Pants Designer series paper and various buttons with my fun new Signature Greetings stamps to finish off the card.
I also made this card...not following the Raspberry Color Suite Challenge but another fun challenge using Keesh's Inkspiration Sketch.
Hope you enjoy my creations!

Both of your cards are just gorgeous! Love the pleated ribbon - I have yet to try it. Would you believe that I'm intimidated by it? Yes, intimidated by ribbon :) Well, I definitely couldn't get them as lovely as yours are - great job!
Hi Lynn, You have been very busy making two creations for the sketch challenge I love your ribbons. I must try this sometime but that means getting the sewing machine down.
Wow - these are both gorgeous! I love the ribbon detail on both and the punched effects. These are fabulous!
WOW!!! I absolutely love both of these cards, they are just stunning.If I had to pick a fav though I think it would have to be the blue one...there is just something about it that appeals to me and I think that something is that gorgeous sentiment, I love that font!!!

Love what you have done with the Chocolate Ribbon. Looks fab!
Both great cards. I've asked for a sewing machine for my birthday--can't wait to sew ribbon onto my cards and scrapbook layouts like that!
Absolutely gorgeous Lynn! I love how you flipped the first one and I love the natural feel of the second one! Awesome inspiration!
