You're Amazing

Hi everyone and happy Thursday to all of you. The snow is starting to melt around these parts, and it is so nice to see signs of Spring here and there. Just about time to get those rubber boots out for the kids I think.
Today I'm sharing with you a card that was made using the 3/8" turquoise grosgrain ribbon from Reasonable Ribbon
I used two separate pieces and criss crossed them on the card. Then added the classic oval and sentiment over top of them. I love the simplicity of this card, even though it took a lot of work lol. All of the design is colored in using Glaze pens.

The colors really bring to mind those first few pink tulips that bloom and the warmth of the Spring sky. Hope you are all getting ready for Spring. Did you plant any bulbs in the fall? We planted a lot, and I'm so looking forward to seeing what they all look like when they bloom.

Thanks so much for stopping by today. Make sure you take a look at the sale section. There are some sweet deals you can grab. And don't forget to take a peek at the new ribbons and trim that Really Reasonable Ribbon has. I've already ordered a bunch of the 1.5" gingham ribbon and can't wait to play with them.

A little Ombre Slice of Heaven

Hello Everyone and Happy Thursday. I am back on the mend after fighting a yucky flu bug that has made its way around the house. Our 2 year old daughter has it now. ACK.

Today I am sharing with you one of my absolute favorite things to stamp and that is Fairies. This fairy is from About Art Accents and I've colored her with Copics.
For such a whimsical stamp, I needed some ribbon that had equal the amount of whimsy and magic to it. The Sheer Ombre Turquoise/Brown was just the ticket. If you have never used this kind of ribbon before, you just HAVE to grab some. With its two tone palettes, this ribbon is absolutely STUNNING. And it makes bows like a dream *swoon*
Take a look at this ribbon up close

Isn't that just Scrumptious!!!!
Now here is the whole project for you. I really like the softness of the colors and patterns. It turned out pretty dreamy, which is what I was going for.

And finally a close up of the image itself

When you are looking for that really special ribbon that will bring a little "pixie dust" magic to your projects, try the Ombre ribbon, available in so many colors you'll be sure to find one that is perfect for your creation.

Until Next time
