I used some of the ribbons from this month's ribbon club - which are all in lovely pinks and browns. This is such a great and fun deal - you get a coordinated group of ribbons (10-15 yards) for $9 including shipping.

So, back to the tutorial! I used the pink and brown polka-dotted grosgrain ribbon for my flower petals and the sheer looped brown organza for the center of the flower. I cut 14 pieces of pink ribbon, each 3.5" long.

I then tied a single knot in the center of each piece.

I glued the ends together (using Beacon 3-in-1 glue - my favorite for ribbon), to form petals.

I punched a circle out of a sheet of scor-tape (another product I love for adhering ribbons). I used this sticky circle to start laying down my petals. As I filled in the gaps, there was not enough scor-tape showing to hold the petals, so then, I glued the rest down.

I put a glop of glue in the center of the rosette, and just swirled the brown organza in a circle to form the middle of the flower.

Then, to adhere my flower to my card, I just pulled off the liner paper from the scor-tape, and stuck it on my card.
I also used the wide brown crocheted ribbon on my card. I love using wide ribbons as a replacement to a layer of paper on a card sketch.
I'm looking forward to sharing inspiring ideas for using ribbons. If you have any suggestions, please leave us a comment.
