R is for Ribbon

Hello again. The Alphabet Challenge has reached the letter ‘R’, and Billie A has chosen the theme of:


R is for Ribbon

Here is my card:

I used The Greetery ‘Big Beautiful Bow’ as the focus for the theme and the focus for the card. I love the layers you can create using the die – I have had it for a while and absolutely do not know why I haven’t used it…..

The layers were die cut from two tones of red, then glued together.

The base panel is white, embossed using a Simon Says Stamp embossing folder, then splattered with gold acrylic paint.

The foliage was die cut using a couple of Spellbinder dies in green tones, with some grey added because I do like grey foliage….

Once the background panel was dry, I adhered the bow with 3D foam, then added the four red strips. The foliage was placed as you see, with just the part hidden under the bow glued down, the rest of them I like to leave loose for added interest.

I didn’t add a sentiment, which is unusual for me, but I like the way it looks without one.

I hope you can coma and join us with your creations following our theme. xx
