Colour Splash with Green at PDCC #40!

What's black and white with a splash of green? All of the cards at this week's Play Date Challenge! Go check it out!
I was so excited to be able to use the new ribbon I bought at Houston's CKC. I bought 5 yards - YES! 5 yards of this luciousness! Is that even a word??!!! I wanted to post an angled pic so you could see the vellum butterfly with it's fluttering wings, the pearls, and this ribbon. All of these elements are the reason why I am going to hand deliver this to my friend Lauren for her birthday. I don't care if you pay extra for the USPS to hand stamp your card, they toss it in the pile that goes in the machine and mangles it!
Here's the card from the front. I REALLY loved this challenge! Let me know what you think!
RECIPE:
Paper - Imaginisce To Love and Cherish, Shiny Kiwi Archivers, PTI Black
Pearls
Ribbon
Punch - Martha Stewart Butterfly
Die Cut Words - Quickutz cookie cutter words
Pen - Sakura Olive Embossing Ink
