Pink & Black Birthday Babe

Just thought I'd show you my latest card, it's for my friend's birthday tomorrow. I don't much use pink and black but like the colour scheme so thought I'd have a bash. I kind of drew a blank with the layout of this card, I wanted to do something really different but just couldn't think what...so I used some old favourites, ribbons and buttons. I did use the ribbon slightly differently though, I kind of like it attached to the flower. I wanted to do a flower with ribbon (I've seen this on an american website - but there was no explications), does anyone know what I mean and how to do these? Anyway, have a lovely evening, I'm gonna get a glass of wine and sit in the garden for a bit, finally we've got some decent weather! Toodle pip! :o) x
