Hi everyone! It's time for another fun challenge over at Really Reasonable Ribbon! I'm very proud to share my DT inspiration project for #131 - Shimmer & Sparkle with Ribbon or Trim! Dig into your shimmery and sparkly stash and come play with us! This will be our only challenge this month, so we hope to see you! :)
I created a mega shimmery and sparkly Christmas card using the absolutely gorgeous Light Navy Satin with Grosgrain Edge Ribbon from the December Ribbon Club Assortment. All of the ribbon in this assortment is just beautiful and makes the best bows!
I created
this yummy multi-loop bow with my Bow-it-All
v2.0. Creating beautiful bows with this awesome tool is really much easier than it looks! Check out Bonnie's awesome bow tutorials on YouTube!
It's hard to tell in the photos, but the background is white gold cardstock that has a really nice shimmer to it. I created the ornaments with Stampin' Up! dies and glimmer paper which is super sparkly, DCWV blue shimmer cardstock underneath, and silver foil cardstock for the caps. The sentiment is from the SU stamp set that coordinates with the dies, embossed in silver and cut with a stitched die.
Keeping the inside fairly simple, I used a strip of the white gold cardstock along with a very narrow strip of the blue shimmer cardstock, and then stamped the sentiment from the SU set in Navy ink on the layered panel.
