Insider Day One

I'm taking the online Insider class and the homework is to finish the inside of a card that you previously made. I decided to use this one based on Kristi's design as I was sending it to my friend for her B'Day and I really think she'll like it.
Note: This card was shown on my September 1st blog post with a link to Kristi Schurr's original.

Here's what I did:

 

I added more of the paper from the collection and die cut the centerpiece using a smaller die from the Spellbinders Locking Loops set that I used on the front. I added a piece of the same ribbon and some pearls I coloured with Copics to echo the brads that are on the front.
This is the second one of these classes I've taken, the first one was called Pattern Play. I am fascinated by how beautiful the cards are without 10 layers on them. These classes really favour the Clean and Simple style. I think I'll need to take a whole lot more to get the hang of it! LOL ! I always pick up some great tips that work no matter what style you like.
