Feeling loopy

This weeks CASual Fridays challenge is to put loops somewhere on a card.  I've seen this done on a few cards before, but never done it myself, but there's no time like the present!!
I'm kind of addicted to this Japanese patterned paper now - it is just so gorgeous!  I also stamped some leaves in versamark in the background, because the background looked a bit stark without it. 

 I cut about 1cm off the right side of the front of the card, so I could have the sentiment hang over the edge without it getting squished up in an envelope ;).   I added a strip of red to the inside of the card just to set it off.

 This loopy idea is great to use up little bits of left over ribbon - this bit was not even really long enough to tie a bow with, but I cut it into 3 pieces and looped each around, fastening with a glue dot.  The SU antique brad in the middle sets it off nicely, I think :)
