Ribbon flowers

I'm obsessed with ribbon. I own tonns of the stuff. And will never have enough! It's okay though, it's a very versatile product, so I know I will use the mountains of stash - eventually.

I decided to share one of the projects I wrote for Cardmaking and papercrafts. I like to share them as sometimes you don't get to see the photos in detail. However, the instructions will be in the magazine.

I wanted to use ribbon as my focal point. I picked beautiful grosgrain stripe ribbon as a centre piece on my card, teamed up with a lovely die and sentiment, nothing else is required.

The second sample was made using the fantastic luxury silky crush ribbon. It's soft and pliable, so perfect for making beautiful roses. Because it is so light weight all I simply needed was a little red double sided tape. The rose colour is perfect.

Last, but not least. Spots and more spots. Again, simple strong double sided tape holds the loops of ribbon in place. I began with the white dotty ribbon, followed by reversible red dotty ribbon. In the centre I placed a sentiment and a wonderful, delicate die.

Ribbon is affordable, beautiful and readily available. How's your ribbon mountain?
