All occasion card in red, white and black, a bit of ribbon and a fussy cut gift

It has been fun making large cards again.  I am making half sheet cards for my sister who has a stash of large envelopes.  

I started with a red card and then cut two pieces of coordinating red and white papers to create my background which I adhered to my card. I embossed a black strip with large polka dots (CB), added a length of red ribbon before adhering it to my card front.  I tied another short piece of ribbon to the one on the strip with a single knot to simulate a bow.  I watercoloured the fussy cut gift (Artful Stamper) to coordinate.  I added it to my card using 3D foam tape.
