The Ribbon Carousel was so kind to give each of us on the Skipping Stones team selected ribbon from their June 2012 ribbon kit and using this week's photo from Skipping Stones July Inspiration challenge, here is what I came up with:
On a panel of cream cardstock, I die cut 3 stars. I selectively inked one of the sentiments from Christmas Song and Celebrate the Season, just became Celebrate. I added some patterned paper from Canvas Corp to the bottom and pleated the luscious navy ribbon from our kit and adhered it to the card. A large button tied with twine finished off the ribbon treatment.
I stamped the woodgrain patterned from Grunge 1 on cream cardstock using a pale linen ink. I attached the two layers together using foam adhesive and adhered the completed card front to a card base made of kraft cardstock.
