Ribbons, anyone? Yes please! I'm always up for a good ribbon rich card and when I shop at Really Reasonable Ribbon, I'm always sure to find the perfect laces, ribbons, trims, twines and more. There's a perfect color, width and style of ribbon for every project at RRR and it's SO much FUN making cards and projects using the wonderful goodies from Really Reasonable Ribbon.
So, like many of the cards I make, this one started with basic black cardstock. I used a Lattice Embossing Folder on this card to give it some great texture and design (I'm not sure why I did this since you can't see it at all...lol). Next, I laid several different ribbons across my card and secured them on the back with Scor-Tape. The ribbons I used on this card include May Arts Stitched Burlap Ribbon, two different widths of Black & White Bold Gingham, Bright Pink Gingham, Plaid Light Pink Gingham, Pink Two-Toned Wrinkle Ribbon, Black & White Plaid Houndstooth, and Canvas Pink Twill Ribbon.
The pretty bow I added uses Pink Two-Toned Wrinkle Ribbon, and I topped that with a Mulberry Leaf, some Double Head Stamens, and some pretty Mulberry Flowers including Miniature Ivory Sweetheart Blossoms and a Black Open Rose. My sentiment is a Melissa Frances rub-on that I rubbed onto a Maya Road canvas tag and tied with lengths of knotted Black Licorice Baker's Twine. Rub-ons are often forgotten items in our crafting stash, so this card incorporates a few of them. You can place/rub a rub-on right onto ribbon as I did (above) on the canvas ribbons.
As you can see, this card was pretty much made by laying various ribbons across my card. Really Reasonable Ribbon carries so many great ribbons and trims to help you create interesting cards and projects.
