Color Throwdown Challenge #124 & a card for Katie

This week's Color Throwdown Challenge included a special request for fellow papercrafter Katie Renz who was recently diagnosed with stage 4 gastric cancer.  They've asked that participants consider sending their card to Katie & her family to wish them well and encourage her in the battle she's fighting.  Details are on the blog.  The pretty chocolate/pink/blue colour combo was easy to use, and I've cased a card made by Angela Tutton using the January stamp of the month.  Being a clothing designer, I could hardly wait to get this stamp set - I love it!  I gathered the ribbon by sewing a straight line down the middle, and pulled it up to gather.
All supplies are CTMH - Stamp set is Find Your Style; Cardstock is Cocoa, Heavenly Blue & Colonial White; Inks are Cotton Candy & Cocoa; Opaque Pearls; Pink Carnation Organdy ribbon.
