Ribbon Wreath

Hi Bloggers.

Thank you so much for all your lovely comments and emails yesterday. I really enjoyed both shows - I hope you did too. Welcome to my new followers.

Just to let you know that I am currently out of stock of the stamp sets I used in the shows but I have ordered some more and they should be arriving in my Amazon Store very soon.

Today I thought I'd share the card with the ribbon wreath on it from yesterday's shows so that I can point you to the correct place on the Creative Expressions Website to find Sue's tutorial on how to make it.

For the background, I ran a piece of milk card through the Grand Calibur with the Couture Creations Constellations Embossing Folder. I inked around the edges with Aged Mahogany Distress Ink using Cut n Dry Foam.

I stamped the bauble from the Creative Expressions Christmas Bauble Stamp Set using Vermillion Archival and embossed with Cosmic Shimmer Clear Embossing Powder. I stamped around the edge of it using one of the stamps from the Creative Expressions Beaded Elements Stamp Set using Olive Archival.

I used 3 yards of each of the green ribbons from the Two Tone Ribbon Pack that was on the show and made a wreath. Here's the link to Sue's tutorial on How to Make a Ribbon Wreath. I added a bow made from the red ribbon in the pack. I stuck the wreath to the card using 3D Foam Pads.

I finished the card off with some White 3mm Pearls on the bauble and some White 5mm Pearls on the embossed background. I also edged the card with some dots of Cosmic Shimmer Pearlescent PVA in Berry Red.

I hope you have a go at making a wreath. Tomorrow I'll share a card which just has a bit of ribbon weaving on it as a border.

Thanks for stopping by.

Julia.
