Hello, everyone! My name is
Gloria Stengel, from Scraps of Life, and I'm your
Really Reasonable Ribbon Guest Designer for today! I was thrilled when Bonnie asked me to help out this month because I'm a huge fan of ribbon! And an even bigger fan of Really Reasonable Ribbon! (Especially that "reasonable" part!)
I've created four projects for you. You can see two here, and two on
my blog! How is that for some extra ribbon fun?! Here is project #1.
I created a simple and elegant card by using the brown ribbon from the
Autumn Diamond Satin Assortment and
Glubers to create a rolled ribbon rose. That chocolate brown makes my mouth water!
I added some
pearls for dramatic interest to the rolled rose. Creating these spectacular roses is so easy, when you use the Glubers adhesive! You simply stick, roll, twist!
For my next project I used two different ribbons, plus some baker's twine!
I stamped the image and colored her with Copic Markers, then, I created layers of paper and ribbon to make this fun "all star" card!
I wrapped the card with a layer of
Black Silk, then a layer of golden yellow ribbon from the
Autumn Diamond Satin Assortment, and finished off by wrapping
Black Licorice Baker's Twine around everything. I tied the ticket on with more Baker's Twine. I also used a bit of Ranger Distress Ink to color the twine, so that it would be more cream and less white.
The ribbon made it an All Star card!
Here are some sneak peeks of two more cards you can see if you visit
my blog today!
I hope you enjoyed my visit with you!
~ Gloria
