Sheltering Tree stamp set, Label Technique

I used Avery Labels #5418 and I cut it down to 3" x 4", but cutting one inch off of each end the long way, and then 1/2" off each end the short side.  This was the hardest part for me figuring out how to cut off the label edging.  The layers behind this are either bigger by 1/8" or 1/4".  Stamp the labels however you wish, then carefully peel the edging off, leaving the paper layer behind the individual labels and then adhere this sheet to your next layer, in this case, Basic Black.  My card base is Whisper White with layers of Tip Top Taupe, Cucumber Crush, and Basic Black.  I stamped the sentiment with Memento Black ink.  The ribbon is brand new and is the 1" Dotted Lace Trim.  This ribbon is just so delicate and I felt like it would work great for a curtain effect.  Deb Valder did this technique using the Stippled Blossoms stamp set.  What do you think and which card is your favorite? Oh, and I also used the brand new Banner Triple punch using a 3/4" wide strip of Whisper White.
