The majority of card makers have vast collections of ribbon in their stash... myself included! We use it to add beautiful bows, to hold charms and other embellishments, sometimes we stamp sentiments on it or even make little flowers from it. It's a versatile and relatively inexpensive embellishment that can add a great deal to the overall composition of a card.
YOUR TURN: Raid your ribbon stash and create something beautiful!

This is another really lovely card. I love the colours. I have just made my ribbon card and will load it in a minute.
ReplyDeleteFabulous card!!! did you happen to take pic of how you assembled the ribbon design and the inside???? I would luv to see how you did it
ReplyDeleteNo, I didn't take any other pictures cardchick, sorry.
DeleteTo make the weaving I started with a square of card stock that was slightly bigger than the circle window I cut out of my card. I secured the teal ribbons down one side of the cardstock and the red ribbons across the top of the cardstock and then wove them together. They are held in place by double sided tape.

Fantastic card and love everything about it. Especially love the somewhat unique color combination.
ReplyDeleteWhat a stunning card.....I love that ornament and how creative...... that is so very pretty!!!!!
ReplyDeleteThis is absolutely gorgeous - I've never seen anything like this. And even your bow is so creatively tied. How did you tie your bow? I love it.
ReplyDeleteHi KT,
DeleteGo on YouTube and look up "finger bow". It's a bit tricky to learn but with practice you'll soon get the hang of it.
For the bow on my card, I used the finger bow technique but with two different coloured ribbons.
Cheers,
Beccy
