Lily Pad Cards Ribbon Challenge

Lily Pad Cards is hosting a ribbon challenge on their blog.  On Friday - I decided to play along. I can't believe how quick this card came together, although it's still simple in design.

I decided to use a bunch of ribbon for this challenge.  First I looked in my die-cut stock and picked out this Sizzix sun.  I then checked out my orange/yellow ribbon and had a few ribbon choices.  So I measured out a piece of cardstock slightly bigger than the die cut and laid down strips of the red-line tape.

I exposed the tape and then laid down the ribbon over it.  I used my bone folder to really adhere the ribbon to the tape and then used the die cut to cut out the sun.  I did run it through the machine about three times, and 'most' of it cut, but some areas I had to use my scissor to release it from the cardstock.

Once the sun was done....I stamped out a bunch of Amuse clouds in PTI's fresh snow ink.  I cut a strip of yellow and embossed with the Cuttlebug swirl folder and added another ribbon on top.  I added a Hero Arts sentiment and a little bling.  Even though the sun is quite busy - it still was a little plain - so I added a PTI button with some embroidery twine.


Here's a closer picture of the sun.

This challenge runs until Thursday if you want to play!!

And just a PS to "Belinda" - you've kindly commented on a few of my card - and I've tried to return to your blog - but I'm not 'allowed' to view it.......so....I don't know how to return the favor!!

Thanks for your visit!
