Stepping Out Vintage Anniversary Card

Every time I use this monochrome colouring technique I wonder why I don;t use it more often.  It's so effective and yet so quick and simple.  

I've used ribbon and lace on this card both held in place with double sided tape which wraps around to the back of the paper panel hiding the raw edges.  I've also added a little swatch of ribbon tied through a charm.  The charm is stuck to the card which in turns holds the ribbon in place.
