Happy day after Independence Day!!
I hope you play along with us over at Tuesday Morning Sketches # 359 it is a sketch by me. I feel like a bit of a cave woman trying to create my sketches so they don't look the greatest but our amazing Design Team is so talented they "got it" and really provided a ton of inspiration. I have a couple of tips below that may help you out.
We're sponsored by Jennifer Tomasic, a fellow CTMH consultant. She'll be offering this fun stamp set to the randomly drawn winner.
I'm also entering this one in the Cupcake Inspirations Challenge # 365 - flowers.
I was really hoping it wouldn't look like a bikini top - lol.
So I turned is sideways ;o) But then I forgot and made my cards the first way - I'm just a dork sometimes!!
Ok and now for my tips....#1 remember that this is a great way to add a button to ruffle ribbon just right and not end up too bulky. Just pull the ribbon through the loop behind your button before you tie it.
#2 tip is keep an eye out for free embellishments. . .this ribbon was wrapped around a pair of pajamas I think or maybe some sheets I can't remember, but it sure feels good when you actually use something that would have normally ended up in the trash.
I just tied the knot right in the word.
Thanks for stopping by, I'm looking forward to seeing what you create this week!
Fantastic sketch! I had fun creating a card with it. I love your cards and tricks with the ribbon are pure genius.
ReplyDeleteCute cards, Patti. Great tips - I, too, love free embellishments! Have a great week.
ReplyDeleteHowever you turn them, they're both adorable! I didn't see a bikini top until I read your post. It made me laugh... Thanks so much for joining the Cupcake Inspiration challenge. Good luck!
