365 Cards - Day 273

I hope y'all noticed that I made a card every day this week for 365 Cards! I love when I have time to play along all week. We have a very cool sponsor next week, so I plan to play every day (best laid plans...).

The challenge for Day 273 is Pretty Pattern - Damask. I have tons of damask print paper...but I found this ultra cool Bazzill at my LSS early in the month! It is black textured Bazzill, but has a damask pattern printed in shiny ink. I hated to cut it up, as I only purchased ONE sheet. (I know, I know! I'll get over it!)

I made a 5x7 card. This is not a size I make very often, but I wanted to get as much of that pattern as I could. I also did not want to cover it up, so I just used these small elements (Graphic 45). Very simple. (The ribbon is really a cream color. Not sure why it photographed as white! Trick of the light, I guess.)
