We're back for another day FULL of inspiration!
If you didn't stop by yesterday...we're
teaming up with May Arts this week for lots
of ribbon inspiration AND *sweet* give - a - ways!!
Let's dive right in, shall we?!
First up is Laura with such a colorful and
fun card... I just love the color combo...
She used the flowers and sentiment from
'Sweet Victoria' ... isn't it lovely?! It very
much reminds me of my trip to Spain. LOVE it!
Great job Laura! You can see more of
Laura at her blog: HERE
You can see this set at the shop
Next up is Laurel with this cute little card...
Isn't it great how she made the ribbon a tree!
What a brilliant idea! And, of course those
bunnies make me smile.
You can see more of Laurel at her blog HERE..
and be sure to check out the bunnies at
the shop HERE
It's my turn to show you a little something
with some of my favorite ribbon!
How about a little tag and bag for
Father's Day OR for a little graduation
gift?
Yep, I tied the ribbon to (hopefully) look like
a tie. SO easy and it turned out SO cute!!
Wanna learn how to tie a tie?
Check out the directions...
It's actually really easy once you get
the hang of it. :)
Also, I used 'It's a Man's World' for all the
stamping extras... I love that set!
Check it out HERE
I also have a *small* coloring tip for you...
Did you know that patterned paper is
a *great* paper for coloring?
Yep, it gives you the perfect base
to add shading and come out with
a pretty cool looking piece...
See...
So, next time you want a colored
item ... start with some patterned paper
and see what happens!!
Couple reminders before I say too-da-loo...
