Happy Sunday, peeps! Time for a new Paper Players challenge with Ann as our hostess. She's got a perfectly-timed theme for us this week:
At my recent hostess appreciation party, one of my stampers gave ALL the members bags of extra ribbons she had from her stash.....I am talking TONS of ribbons! And they were all tied up in neat little bundles, too, nothing haphazard! I immediately thought about using some of those beautiful ribbons to make a card, and here's what I came up with:
My first step was to cut a heart from a panel of Pretty In Pink cardstock and emboss it with a retired embossing folder called Falling Petals. I then covered a piece of scrap white cardstock with an Adhesive Sheet and began laying on my ribbons. The stickiness of the adhesive allows you to get your ribbons nice and flat and butted up against each other. The only thing I wish I had done differently is to use a different-colored ribbon for the last strip on the right; it sort of blends in with the pink cardstock!
I added a pink glimmer bow and a little sentiment from a fun retired set called Pictograms:
And after seeing my friend Linda's card here, I remembered that I had this Valentine sentiment too, so I stamped it on the inside:
Love definitely is in the air! I hope you'll play along with our seasonal theme challenge this week! Check out what all the designers created at the Paper Players blog, then play along! Thanks for popping in today! Enjoy it and be blessed!
