Ribbon Carousel CC70

I bought ribbon from this company and have purchased 3 months of ribbon of the month club. I'll tell you, I'm in love with the ribbon I've received and have already used most of them in my projects.  I was excited to find out that they have challenges.  The first challenge I'm entering for Ribbon Carousel is a smypathy card.  I didn't have any made (some reason we have been using them lately) and need some to add to my stock pile of cards.

I have plenty of scrap cardstock needing to be used, so this whole card is from scraps.  I used Unity Stamps for the image and sentiments.  The ribbon is from Ribbon Carousel.   It is a wonderful cloudy day here, so the pictures to me are on the dark side.  I sponged around the distressed light purple paper and fussy cut the leaves for the branch and the bird.

I copied in the outside of the card inside.  

Thanks for looking and reading :o)
