Birthday Card with Instant Card Art & Nestabilities

Today's card was pretty quick to make as it used elements from Cardmaker's Classic Creative Pack and Cardmaker's Instant Card Art Classic Colors - both from Hot Off the Press.  Additional elements were cut with Spellbinder's Nestabilities Labels Four.  A glittery ribbon and a few small brads finish off the card.

Here are a couple of tips demonstrated here:

• I wanted a blue ribbon border edging the patterned border on the left of the card, but none of my blue ribbons were the right color.  There was a faux blue ribbon in the Card Art pack, but only one piece.  I cut it in half lengthwise and tucked it underneath the patterned border to create the look shown.
• After cutting and embossing the blue shaped mat (using labels four nestabilities), and drawing around the edges of the embossing with a pen (like I did on the larger peach mat), I drew vertical lines every 1/8 inch to create the striped effect.

A scrap piece of the background paper and a few other elements from Instant Card Art completes the inside of the card:
