Sunday Showcase

Welcome to Sunday Showcase.  This week I am showcasing a ribbon collage.

I used this technique a lot this past Christmas.  I found that you really needed to add a variety of textures, and colours for this effect to work properly.  Above I have used seam binding ribbon, organza, wide taffeta and narrow taffeta ribbon and a strip of patterned paper cut like a flag.

Thanks again for stopping by,

Welcome to Sunday Showcase

This week I am showcasing two cards which feature homemade bows using organza ribbon.

These ribbons are very challenging for me because they are so bulky, but I found that if I folded the ribbon in half it was much easier, and then used scissors to create a gap in the ribbon to stick the brad through the middle.

Welcome to Sunday Showcase.  Here I will feature specialty cards all year long.  This week I am featuring a Christmas card.  This is one of my favourite cards from this past Christmas.  I used the Pepermint kit from Crate paper for the cardstock and the doily trim, then I used some label stickers from my stash and a scallop die cut from some green vellum.
