Can you tell I love bows?

I'm a hopeless ribbon collector. I just cannot resist getting some more on any occasion, and I always find that I'm not having enough variety. Do you agree that there's nothing like a luscious ribbon to add pizazz to a project?
I got this great satin ribbon a few days ago, and I found it very useful right away, as it fits perfectly the two colour challenges for this week. The first challenge has been covered already, and the second one is a Moxie Fab Color Play Challenge, for which I made this card:

and here are the given colours:

The card is also a free take on Kazan's sketch 43:

Recipe: Cardstock: DCWV, Ribbon: Sullivans, Stamps: Sullivans, Pearls: Kaisercraft, Ink: ColorBox.

I made one more card this morning, for the first colour combo at Color Throwdown this year (gawd I missed them!!), but I must admit that it's not my best effort...

Recipe: Cardstock, paper: DCWV, Stamp: The Angel Company, Ink: Versa Magic. The sentiment is hand written with a gel pen (Uni-Ball)

I thought that these colours would suit perfectly the two challenges of the same theme: Quixotic Challenge #8: Hot Chocolate, and Simon Says Hot Chocolate. They still do, but again, I could have done it better :)

Thanks for looking, see you again later today!
