Shopping Our Stash Challenge 1 Ribbon Rewind




Boy this snuck up on me.. I kept thinking I had another day .. that's what happens when you throw a holiday in the mix! I am thankful for the time off though!

Today marks the first Challenge over at Shopping Our Stash and we are asking you to go into your ribbon stash and pull out either your oldest ribbon, the ribbon in colors you have the most of, or make something you normally don't make with ribbon- think outside the box! I hope you can join us this week!

I used this adorable The Greeting Farm stamp called Monday. I love this line of Creeper images. I colored her with copics. I used some Bo Bunny papers and actually this card is a sample for a kit swap I am participating in at SCS. I had some leftovers after assembling my kits. Yay for using leftovers! The image is popped up on an embossed piece of cardstock which unfortunately you can't see very well but its the brick pattern. I made the flower from orange ribbon and I think it's the second one of these I have ever made.. I can't tell you how many attempts this took... I tried all different kinds and finally got this one to work out. I had the button with some embroidery thread in my scrap jar and thought it went with it. Sentiment is from Kraftin' Kimmie stamps.
