Hi folks, I’m happy to present you with my card for the Really Reasonable Ribbon today 🙂
It’s quite unusual, for I used no designer paper whatsoever. It’s all stamped… something that I do only occasionally, and mostly with CAS cards. This time I wanted to challenge myself. How do you think I managed? Check it out:

Supplies: cardstock: Quill; stamps: Papertrey Ink (Polka Dot Basics), Hero Arts (sentiment, damask), Tim Holtz (flower, bird) ; ink: ColorBox (Black, Vivid! (Brick), Grant (Blue); black & white gel pen; ribbon: Green/White Multi-Stripe Grosgrain; slide: Collections; other: button, twine

I used some beautiful Green/White Multi-Stripe Grosgrain, as an accent on the card. You can find it in the Really Reasonable Ribbon store at 25% OFF, only $2 per 5-yard piece!

I used a PPA48 sketch, rotated on the side to suit my idea:

Remember, that you’ve got until June 30th to play along in our second challenge, which is to use ribbon as a border!
Thank you for visiting, hope you have a fine start of the week! {{hugs}}

Hooray, I can’t believe I’ve been blogging for four days in a row! Pretty satisfying, considering that I haven’t made a card in a full month’s time. Let’s say I’m surviving without my passion (and addiction, yes)… lol, although I catch myself thinking about it more often lately. I’ll have a lot to catch up with, when we come back home!

Today I’m bringing you my Monday project for Really Reasonable Ribbon. Once again I reached for ruffles - the technique that adds dimension to the project, like nothing else.
I used some beautiful Sheer Square Print in Pink & Brown, and finished it off with a bow made out of a Brown Wrinkled Ribbon.

Supplies: cardstock: Quill; paper: SEI; stamp: Papertrey Ink (Turning A New Leaf); ink: ColorBox (Bronze); pearls: Kaisercraft; ribbon: Brown Wrinkled Ribbon, Sheer Square Print Pink/Brown; string: Papertrey Ink; other: buttons

I’m glad whenever my card, prepared beforehand, matches on of the existing challenges. This time it’s two different ones that meet the criteria. Woohoo!
One of them is JUGS38 - Color Challenge, and the other - A Passion For Papertrey’s One Layer Challenge. This is certainly the most bulky one-layer card that I’ve ever made!

Thank you so much for visiting my lil’ crafty nook,
hope your week starts with a blast 🙂
