Use some ribbon ...

This week the Design Team at Pals Paper Arts are asking you to break out some ribbon and adorn your card or project with it.  There are so many different kinds of ribbon and the colors are endless. Here is an inspiration photo to get you started ...


10-27

I always love a little embellishment on my cards.  Here is this week's PPA card ...

  Stamps:  Always Thankful
Paper:  White, Crumb Cake, Pear Pizzazz, Peach Parfait
DSP:  Peach Parfait
Ink:  Crumb Cake, Pear Pizzazz
Accessories:  Pear Pizzazz seam binding ribbon, ticket punch, pearl, Bic Marker, hole punch, sponge dauber, scallop border punch
All products are Stampin' Up unless otherwise noted.
  • I stamped the main image twice.  Once in Crumb Cake on the card and then again in Pear Pizzazz on scrap paper.  I cut out just the container and attached it to the first image.  
  • The pearl was colored first in Peach Parfait with my SU marker.  I then went over it with a similar color Bic Marker to make the ink permanent.
  • The edges were sponged to create a "softer" scene and take away from all the white space.
I hope you will find some time to join in the fun with the rest of the talented Pals.

Thanks for stopping by and ...

Have a great day,

Pam~

Such a pretty card, and a lovely neat bow (I am so bow-challenged!).
Love the picture of your hounds too :)
