Today's card is brought to you by Cardaholics Challenge. Use the background and texture paper and some specific accessories (all or at least one element).
The ribbon and the red "leaf" were in the accessories packet. The red leaf was a photo corner that I tucked under the flower.
The Clover leaf is second generation rolled. What does that mean? Ink the stamp, and stamp off on scratch paper. Then roll the outside of the stamp back in the ink to make it darker (first generation vibrance) before stamping it again. Cut said leaf out and attach.
Today's lesson is if you are limited on ribbon and have something going over where the ribbon goes. Cut the ribbon to make it last. See what I did? Instead of needing 5.5" of ribbon, I used 3.5" per card. And since the cardstock goes over the ribbon ends, you have no idea that it's two pieces. : )
Some things to be aware of as you use this trick...
- make sure your pieces are long enough to go under the paper. For instance, I cut my ribbon 1" when only 1/2" shows in the finished project (the right side).
- make sure you measure (or have something to measure with (ie. the paper) so that the two pieces of ribbon are on the same plain
- tack down both ends of the ribbon
- this applies to paper as well
The pattern I used was from Make It From Your Heart volume 1 pattern 19
