Vintage Ribbons on Cards by Christine


The new ribbons from SRM are so pretty and have great patterns.  I thought they'd be perfect to play with on cards and I'm gonna show you a different way to use them than just tying a bow! Christine joining you today with two similar cards using metal dies and SRM Ribbon!

I used a metal die in a scallop flower shape to create some negative space on my card.  I then backed that with some of the Black/Pink Vintage Floral Ribbon.  To decorate the card more I used several different pieces from SRM Stickers! I cut out the center of a White 4 inch Doily and used that to surround the original flower.  I also used some twine for a bow.  We have all varieties of twine so there is one to match all of your needs!  On this card I used Pink Sorbet.  My sentiment is from the Thank You By The Dozen Sticker Set and is set on vellum to add to the soft feel.  And don't forget the Sticker Stitches!

As you can see this card is very similar but set to a different color scheme! I used the Turquoise Vintage Ribbon for this card. The Ocean Twine was a great match for this! The variety of ribbons are so fun, you could easily make a set of different cards using all the different ribbons.

I also used it to line the punched border on this card.

This is what the back side looked like before I covered it up to make it more presentable!  As you look at the beautiful new ribbons think a little outside of the box for other creative ways you can use them!
