While I do realize that Fall is creeping in on some of you, it's still over 100 degrees here in the Las Vegas valley, and it's still very much Summer. That means days in the pool, walks in the evening, and having the A/C running 24/7. The card I'm sharing today is an Anniversary card that I created for some friends of ours. As always, I knew I could count on Really Reasonable Ribbon to have all the perfect trims for my card.
I used basic white cardstock that I layered with some American Crafts patterned paper and a piece of painted corrugated cardboard. I ran a length of Medium Pink Gingham Ribbon down the side of my card. I also used the Medium Pink Gingham Ribbon to tie a pretty bow that also includes some Solid Light Pink Baker's Twine, Natural Burlap String, Dark Rose Double Head Stamens, Milk White Double Head Stamens and two beautiful Open Roses.
The sentiment I used is from Bonnie Garby Designs and I rubbed it with Spun Sugar Oxide Ink. I also attached more of the Natural Burlap String to hold some of the lovely little 11mm Heart Shaped Imitation Pearl Embellishments. The sweet sentiment (Cheers to Forever) is found in the Wedding Bundle. I attached everything to my card using pieces of Scor-Tape which is such as AWESOME Adhesive.
Thanks so much for visiting me today, friends. I appreciate you stopping by and I really do hope that you'll check out Really Reasonable Ribbon and treat yourself to some new trims. My suggestions are Baker's Twine, Burlap String and Gingham Ribbon; but there are literally hundreds of fabulous choices. Have a blessed and creative week.
