This week over at SU-Only Challenges blog they are offering up a challenge for using ribbons or bows on a card, scrapbook page or project. Since I'd just finished making a card I call "Ribbon Candy" I thought I would play along. Here is my card:
 |
I used Riding Hood Red cardstock for my card base and embossed it with the new Snow Burst Textured Embossing folder. A layer of Brushed Gold cardstock was added next and then another layer of Red Riding Hood. To this layer I added Very Vanilla cardstock that has been stamped with one of the sentiments from the new Christmas Lodge stamp set (Holiday Mini), My Riding Hood Red and Very Vanilla ribbon is reminiscent of the "ribbon candy" we would get at Christmas time and adds a festive touch. Three basic pearls finish the card front. |
 |
For the inside of my card I decided to use the sentiment again in Riding Hood Red and add one of the Christmas Stockings from the Stitched Stockings set in the Holiday Mini. Maybe a little overkill on the sentiment but I liked it enough to repeat it. |
omigosh, that "ribbon candy" looks so yummy! can't wait to try that technique out!
