Twilling Ribbon Cards

Evening everyone, a late blog tonight as have been a busy bee all day. Haven`t been about much the last week as have been poorly :( but being poorly does have its advantages as my brain hasn`t stopped working & have had lots of new ideas. I`m loving ribbon at the moment & have been trying to think of different ways to use it, so hope you like the twirling affect i have done on the cards. The first is a card idea i had for my mum & i knew i wanted to use Kanban`s Bella Fiori kit, & i wanted to do a large card so i used an A4 piece of card & added to each side an A5 card. I matted & layered using card from the kit & one of the toppers which i added bronze & gold ribbon which i twilled over & stuck underneath. I found this beautiful verse & framed it with the edges of one of the Bella Fiori toppers, i added the word Mum (which i cut from the cricut cart `Tie the Knot`) & few feathers, flowers & a flourish & this is the end result. Really pleased so i think my mum will love it.

This card looks so pretty & came out better than i imagined, the beautiful rose topper is from the Kanban `So Feminine` kit & the background paper from woodland friends. Again i twilled ribbon (i`m sure someone in the craft world has done this before, but i have not seen it, so to me its my idea lol) A bit of bling & some flowers really set this card off

A little close so you can see the ribbon

Another beautiful topper from Kanban & this time i used A thicker ribbon with an edge to add a little va va voom, a touch of lace & some fancy flourishes, Tracey was cut from the cart cricut alphabet

Really pleased with the striking effect the black ribbon has on this card.
