This card was for my neighbor, whose father passed away this week. It's pretty self-explanatory from the recipe (below). The only tricky part was stamping the sentiment on vellum, die cutting it with the ornate thinlit, and then trimming off just the "ornate" portion, and that's only because apparently I have a problem lining things up exactly straight under the cutter arm. Took a couple of tries, but I got it pretty quick.
One tip - punching a hole for the brads through the ribbon with a hole punch can bunch up the ribbon. It's better to use the paper piercing tool on a paper piercing mat.
