A sympathy card - CAS-ual Fridays challenge

Yes, I had to squeeze in some stamping time before I cleared up my crafting space for the holiday!  My husband's family will be here for Thanksgiving Day, so today is cleaning and prep day.  Which is what I should be doing...instead of blogging.
So.  When I saw Karen's sketch on CAS-ual Fridays blog, two ideas popped into my head.  This is the first one.   I'll do another quick post in a few minutes, with my second card.
Here is the challenge.  CAS-ual Fridays CFC29

My (first) take on the sketch:

I've used the woven ribbon technique on 2 other cards, and I enjoyed it so much. I love the dimension that this technique adds to a card.   Britta Swiderski has a great tutorial for the technique on her blog.  HERE is the link.  Once I'd created the woven ribbon panel, I attached it to an early espresso card stock panel, using Scor-tape.  This particular ribbon is somewhat stiff, so I knew it would need a strong adhesive to hold it in place.
After stamping the sentiment on my white card base, I added 2 tiny brown pearls between the 3 small sentiments.
That just about covers it.  It was an easy, but fun card to create.
Thank you for taking a look!

Supplies:

card stock: select white (PTI), early espresso (SU)

ink: early espresso (SU)

other: diamond arch brown/white ribbon (Am. Crafts), Scor-tape (Sookwang), 2 brown pearls from my stash
