I love this card! I hope you do, too. I wanted to use some of the new in-colors. Since I'm not too familiar with them yet, I pulled out my handy-dandy Color Coach (pg. 174) and my newly purchased In-Color Cards (#124886). See below:
Okay, so you came back to see what I mean when I say, "We can save every card-making boo-boo, usually!" Well my stampin buddy from PA who got me started making cards and I use this saying a lot. We've learned how to "adjust" boo-boos and not waste the card. Here's an example on this card:
Now you are probably wondering how I got that beautiful two-toned Ornate Blossom (pg. 107) image ... This is called the Rock N Roll Technique. To get this effect I simply inked the Ornate Blossom stamp with Pool Party Ink. Then I rolled the edges in Rich Razzleberry and stamped the image on Whisper White Cardstock.
The ribbon is the new 3/8" Ruffled Ribbon (pg. 194) that was part of my recent Ribbon Share. A ribbon share is where I buy all of the colors of a particular style ribbon, cut them in one-or-two yard pieces and bundle them up. This gives you, the client, a chance to get all of the colors to have on hand (vs. buying one roll of each), I get the sales, and I usually save one cut for me to play with so I don't have to buy every roll either. It's a win-win for all. I charge my out of town buyers $3 extra for postage. Ribbon Shares are a hit with my Divas. Stop back tomorrow for this month's Ribbon Share offering.
The pretty Designer Printed Brad comes in all the new In-Colors, too (pg. 199). How do you like the brad instead of a knot with the ribbon? Works for me!
Remember, stop back tomorrow for my next Ribbon Share offering ...
