Watercolor Ornament

With Christmas just around the corner, I wanted to share an easy watercolor ornament that you can create.  Grab some beautiful lace and ribbon from Really Reasonable Ribbon, a flat wooden ornament, buttons, old hymnal page, gesso and your favorite watercolors.

 I trimmed the hymnal to fit wooden ornament and glued it.  Next I applied gesso, letting it dry.  Next I added my holiday scene using watercolor and black pens. 

Then I add the Arianna Natural Crochet Lace and added a hanger with the Sheer Iridescent Champagne Ribbon.

These are so quick and easy... created a few for you and some to share.

Happy crafting!

Open to Adding Layers

Hello ribbon lovers!  

Are you open to adding layers of ribbons, lace and embellishments to your artwork?

Really Reasonable Ribbon makes it easy to get your layers of ribbons, lace and floral embellishments all in one place.  By adding layers of Cream Roses, then a bow of Burlap String Natural String and topping it up with the Sheer Iridescent Champagne Ribbon, it adds visual interest to your artwork.

I then added the gorgeous Debra Natural Crochet Lace to the side of album page to add additional layers.  

Hoping you are open to adding a few layers of beautiful ribbons, lace and embellishments to your next creative project.

Sweet Mother and Child Card

Hello Friends!!
Heather here and today I would like to share with you a simple Mother and Child card that I created using fabulous goodies from Really Reasonable Ribbon and images from Gecko Galz.
Here is my card below.

I used Edna Lace, Natural Faux Canvas and Pink Chevron Stripe across the base of the card at the top and Moss Green Micro Ribbon runs across the lower part of the focal image.  I used my Bow it All Tool to create the Champagne Organza Bow.  I topped off my Gecko Galz image with two Deep Ivory and One Baby Pink Mulberry Rose.  Below are a couple close-ups of my card.

I hope you have a wonderful day!

Vintage Christmas Snowflake Ornament

Happy Wednesday Friends!! This is Heather with my First RRR post!!
I am so excited to be joining the talented Design Team here at Really Reasonable Ribbon!
For my first project I would like to share with you this fabulously trimmed Vintage Snowflake Ornament!

I used all kinds of lovely trims and ribbons from RRR. These are some of my favorites, so you will see them on many of my creations!! Moss green leaves, mini yellow pom poms, Sheer Iridescent champagne ribbon,  Peppermint baker's twine, and curly sparkling white trim really give my ornament that Vintage look! Here are some close ups.

I created the ornament using a collage sheet I designed for   Gecko Galz.   Below you will see where I trimmed the leaves to give them more of a "holly leaf" appearance.  I also used the Candi Fix Foam Pads to add some dimension to my ornament.

How about a look at the back?  Those of you who know me, know that I have a little disorder that compels me to have the backs of my creations look good too. 

 I just love how the Sparkling trim and Ranger's Barn door stickles really adds to the vintage Christmas look!  When this is on one of my trees, it will catch and reflect the light beautifully!!

 Yummy Peppermint Baker's Twine and Leaves give my vintage buttons some warm hugs! Okay, now that I have you in the "Holiday creating mood."  Grab a mug of  hot chocolate topped with whipped cream and peppermint sprinkles and enjoy my Tutorial on how to create your own Vintage Snow Flake ornaments! I will apologize in advance for the length :0) I get a little carried away sometimes!! Vintage Snowflake Ornament Part One Vintage Snowflake Ornament Part Two
