Hello, friends, and welcome by my blog today as I share a cute little patriotic card that features some awesome products from Really Reasonable Ribbon. No matter what I'm making, no matter what colors or themes I incorporate, I can ALWAYS count on Really Reasonable Ribbon to have all the perfect ribbons, twines, trims and goodies to adorn my art. They really have it ALL.
This quick little card started with some black and white cardstocks that I attached together with Scor-Tape. I pressure embossed a piece of white cardstock using the Swiss Dots Embossing Folder and I also used Tim Holtz Distress Ink on that to create my background. I used a cute circle die from Poppy Stamps to cut some patterned paper circles. I also cut one extra circle in white, and I used a Stamp Simply stamp set for the sentiment.
At the bottom of my card, I ran a length of Red Wrinkle Ribbon and used that to tie a pretty bow that I topped with a White Magnolia Flower. I tucked in some Red Double Head Stamens, Milk White Double Head Stamens, and Lake Blue Double Head Stamens. I just LOVE all the texture and color that these items add to my card. They're FUN. Thanks so much for stopping by today. There's always lots of great inspiration on the Really Reasonable Ribbon Blog, so be sure to stop by often. Oh, and don't forget to join us on the 13th for our monthly Blog Hop. Have a great week, everyone.

Love your patriotic card, especially those neat circle dies and the embossed background. Great card! Thanks for sharing with us at Can You Handle the Pressure!
ReplyDeleteYou've created a wonderful card celebrating July 4th, I like your selection of papers and the combination of 3 circles as your main motif. Each of them looks like a firework in the blue sky. The big white flower is the perfect addition to balance the embellishments in your card, and I like how all those double head stamens look like fireworks as well. Thanks for joining the Alphabet challenge.
