My good friend, and owner of Really Reasonable Ribbon (the greatest ribbon shop in the world), Bonnie Garby, once told me that "a card just isn't complete without a bow". I have to say that I completely agree with her. I just can't resist adding that special touch. This card was cute without the bow, but it's even cuter WITH it. I used some October Afternoon patterned papers, Crate Paper chipboard and stickers, and a Verve stamped sentiment. Like I said, it looked good. But I knew it needed something more; and that something was a big beautiful bow using Really Reasonable Ribbon's AWESOME supplies.
I added a bow using their gorgeous Turquoise Plaid Ribbon, some Cream Seam Binding, Teal Baker's Twine, Blueberry Baker's Twine, some awesome 1.5" Jute Ribbon in Ivory, and a pretty Deep Ivory Open Rose by Wild Orchid Crafts. I love the textures, and the personality all these items give to my card. I honestly believe that Really Reasonable Ribbon ROCKS! I highly recommend ALL their amazing products.
