Hello blog friends, crafters, and ribbon lovers. Welcome by today as I share a sweet card I created for Really Reasonable Ribbon using just a few of their (many) fabulous products. If you're like me (and I know you are), you enjoy creating cards and beautiful things. I get so much inspiration from all of you talented artists, and when I see your beautiful projects using ribbons, trims and twines; I always know that I can find the perfect products for my cards at Really Reasonable Ribbon. They carry so many great products including ribbons, trims and twines of all sorts and varieties; but SO much more as well.
This card started with some cardstocks (brown and white) that I pressure embossed using the Organic Linen Embossing Folder from Altenew as well as a brick patterned paper. I did a bit of machine stitching on my card to set up my card base. I used strips of Scor-Tape to attach them all together securely and permanently. The birds were stamped and cut using a sweet set called Wrens & Robins from The Greetery. This lovely stamp set was an unexpected gift from my sweet blog friend, Gail. She has been such a blessing and source of wise counsel for me in the blog/crafting world. There's definitely a learning curve to using these stamps, and this was my very first attempt.
Once I had everything in place, I used some FABULOUS products from Really Reasonable Ribbon to give it that warmth and charm that only ribbons and flowers can provide. I bundled some Natural Burlap String and some Black Burlap String to create a "nest" or cluster of sorts. Next, I added some Mulberry Leaves as well as some Wine Red Stamens, Fossil Stamens, and Milk White Stamens. I topped the cluster with a Black Open Rose and two Sweetheart Blossoms. Do you see what I mean about Really Reasonable Ribbon having so many great products? They always seem to have exactly what I need. I encourage you to check out all the wonderful products at RRR.
Thanks for stopping by today. You can always find lots of great inspiration on the Really Reasonable Ribbon Blog, and learn about special sales and promotions, the monthly Blog Hop (starting on the 13th of each month), and SO much more. We enjoy your visits.
Blessings,
Karen
This is a beautiful card Karen - love that you kept it basically monochrome, the scripture stamp is stunning, and that embossed panel is perfect.

ReplyDeleteKaren, this is beautiful in every single detail - and there are many details here...the eye finds something new to look at over and over. :-) I wanted to thank you for leaving some love at my blog a couple of weeks ago. I definitely will play at WAW! I have been so busy, it's left me no time/energy to get on the computer and blog. Hopefully I'll be able to do it again soon. God bless you! You are such an encourager!
