PTI blog hop - colourful and girly

The minute I saw the challenge for this month's PTI blog hop (here), I knew what I wanted to do - one of those increadibly unmailable, glue gun necessitating, huge ribbon cards.  I've never made one before, and it was fun!




Here's a closeup on the ribbons.  They are all scraps from our wedding gifts almost 8 years ago!   The white has a wire running on the long edges and is really sparkly.  The medallion is Tag-its #1 with the scallop circle die from Love lives here overtop.



I got the idea for the background from Nichole's countdown post this past month.  I used copics R02, R22, RV14, R85 and then the other way.



One more shot of the 3D ribbon cluster. 

Supplies; Stamps - Tag-its #1, Love lives here, Fillable frame #6 (sentiment), Paper - Raspberry fizz, cream, Other - Love lives here die, 1 3/4'' circle punch, copics, assorted ribbons.

    Anna, how very cool that you used ribbon scraps from your wedding gifts to make this card! I love your idea of using bunches of them as the embellishment, and I love your background too--great job with the technique! Happy June Hopping!
