Adding Faux Bows

 Hi Everybody,

Tus pretty card is really small and is created using the Bow Die Set from Card Making Magic.

Once again it is an older die but having a set like this in your own personal stash is always useful for embellishing your design, especially if you don't have and real ribbon on hand.

In the links below I have added in the sentiment and butterflies stamp set but the circular die that cut the pattern into my card was free with a magazine many moons ago.

For this card I have just used the plain version

I have used it for this card to the left also but this time I have added in the detailed layer.

That gives it a more feminine look and for this I have added it to the Ivy leaves from the Trailing Floral die set

I also used some patterned card in blue and white for my centre strip, added it to a white layer and then embossed both in a folder.

I think both are pretty cards and could be adapted to suit any occasion you are making the card for.

For this card I have cut the smaller bow and made the ribbon banner for it to sit on, and then used pens to colour it in to give some shape.

The bow and ribbon have then been dotted with white pen to give a spotty effect.

This one has the bow separating the two different textures to the background , and again coloured in with alcohol markers. 

Whatever your design a little bow can make all the difference to your  outcome and I am sure that you won't be disappointed with the result.

More tomorrow ...
