Today's
card is the one I made for the current
Color Me Beautiful Challenge. It was an experiment in fun since I made my flower out of ribbon. I want a unique and unusual flower and I'd say I found it. I love how these colors

River Rock,
Wisteria Wonder and
Elegant Eggplant blended so well together. To see all of the beautiful projects for this challenge, just click on the following link,

Tomorrow I'll show you the project I was working on over the weekend. It took longer than I thought simply because I kept changing my mind. A woman's prerogative, right?
I love it, Marsha! The ribbon bow is so pretty, especially with the Vintage Brad in the middle! I am so stingy and have a hard time using so much ribbon on one card, but it really does look fabulous! Thanks so much for playing at CMB each week! I love seeing your work.
ReplyDeleteI'm usually that way too, Shana, but I'm have such a limited storage space that I'm having to use some of it up.
DeletePretty card! You have a lot more talent with ribbon than I do.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Terry. Ribbon experiments sometimes do kind of work.
DeleteI love the ribbon flower! Such a great idea!! Thanks so much for joining us with your beautiful card!! Hope to see you play along again at Color Me Beautiful!

DeleteOh it's soooo pretty! You just reminded me how much I love that ruffled ribbon! Thanks for playing along with us at Color Me Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThanks, cparsons. I love it, too!
DeleteGREAT flower and love the designer brad you used. Great job!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Leslie. The Antique Brads are favorites.
DeleteMarsha, Marsha, Marsha! (Sorry,it just came out) This is a beautiful card! You must share how you made that ribbon bow! It's SO pretty!! You have in your list Crystal Effects. Is that the little dots on the right hand side of the card? I thought they were rhinestones but what a GREAT use of CE!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Connie. Too funny as I am so used to getting that. The dots on the right side are rhinestones. The CE was used to hold down the ribbon flower. It, along with the brad, made it kind of heavy and I knew a dimensional wouldn't hold. The ribbon was made simply by using the brad and looping the ribbon over the prongs. You make your loops as long or as short as you want and keep looping until you have the size flower you want. Hope that makes sense.
