Easter Chicks Shaker Card

 Hello, Ribbon Lovers!  Have you had a chance to play with the gorgeous March Ribbon Club Assortment yet?  Oooh la la!  These ribbons just burst with the promise of springtime!  I've used them to create this cute Easter Chicks Shaker Card.

Delicate Stitched Satin is one of my all time favorites.  It is so easy to tie a perfect bow with this soft and supple ribbon! Hot Pink Delicate Stitched Satin Bows add a lovely pop of color to this pastel card.  They also help to draw the eye to my little Mason Jar Shaker  embellishment.  Topped with Iridescent Metallic String and pretty pink flowers, it's a bow cluster worthy of the Easter Bunny.

You can add extra color, pattern and texture to any card by creating a ribbon border.  This is one of my favorite sneaky tricks!  Simply attach Lemon Diamond Satin Ribbon to the card panel with 1/2" Scor-Tape.  Let the ends hang over the sides of the panel so you can wrap the ribbon around to the back.  This leaves a neat and tidy edge.  Then repeat this process with the Multi Print Butterfly Ribbon , but this time use 1/4" Scor-Tape.  

I love the changing of the seasons.  It's so lovely to transition from winter colors and patterns to the light and cheery colors of spring.  Maybe we can encourage the flowers to bloom as we play with our pretty springtime Ribbon Club Assortment!  

Wishing you joy and creativity!

Cheerio,

kathy
