Jingle Belles 04

I have to admit that I hit a bit of a wall with this challenge.  It is a color challenge - use light pink, dark pink, and lime green in your creation.  Well actually I have used this combination before for a couple of holiday cards, but not wanting to duplicate them was my real challenge. 

As luck would have it, I had just purchased some ribbon from Mike's in these very colors (plus a few more!).  It's glitter ribbon.  I must be getting like an old crow who's attracted to shiny things because I just couldn't resist buying this ribbon even though, as I've said before, I don't like working with glitter.   When I saw the challenge I knew I wanted to use the ribbons but just how was the question.

I played around with a few different backgrounds.  Some embossed, some not.  I even stamped Merry Christmas over and over again to try to make my own designer paper, but I didn't like that either.  So finally  said to my self "Self.  You've spent enough time on this."  And this is the final product. 

Now, if I could only figure out how to get a sentiment on this I think I might be happier with it.  Let me think on this a little more.
