Hi Everybody,
The new Ribbon Threaders have been a very popular addition to the Card Making Magic Collection and they can be used in a lot of different ways.
For this card I created a top folded A2 size and another panel just slightly smaller.
I embossed this panel in the Flourish Folder and then I used a soft rollered Brayer to add two different shades of ink to the top and bottom
I cut one of the designs in the ribbon threader twice from white card and stacked them together and wove some lilac ribbon through the centre and tied it into a bow.
I placed this across the join in the ink colours with foam pads positioned under the ribbon so as not to show from the front. You can add any sentiment you have in your own collection to suit the occasion for which you have made the card.
For this layered card I have used another of the dies and cut it three times and then spaced it evenly across the grey panel.
I dotted it with gemstones and added the sentiment at the bottom, layered onto parchment that has been wrapped around the layers.
So there you have two very simple cards that are quite effective, using the border dies in different ways
One for the boys and one for the girls and I am pleased with the results of both of them
More tomorrow ...
Hugs xx
Good Morning Christina. I just love the ribbon die in the lilac card. It looks like lace. And most people that know me .... know just how much I love any feminine lace. I think this die is going to be in my craft room in the near future. Thankyou Christina. Sending hugs and best wishes to everyone. Kind regards Ann Toppcards Leeds.
ReplyDeleteHi Christina,
ReplyDeleteI do not comment as often as I used to because I have no new words about what you do.
I love your work.
I specially like those 2 cards with their simplicity and sometimes that is all that is needed.
Thank you for this simple elegance.
Two great cards today.
