Join us if you can for our regular monthly inspirational challenge.
   Make a project using the following picture as your inspiration.






My card uses the pretty colours as well as pearls and a bow.





I've partially stamped a wreath using Versa Mark ink and positioned the pretty Prima flowers adding a few extra pearls.
The sentiment is stamped to velum and using my We R Memory Keepers Envelope punch Board I've made the small bow which is finished with a pearl.



Making the ribbon bow in one piece:

  • Trim a strip of velum 7/8" wide x 7" long.
  • Punch at the mid section (3.5") on both edges by flipping the velum over.
  • Punch on both edges at 1.5" . Do this on both ends of the velum.
  • Punch in the middle of the 7/8" wide ends to finish of the ribbon tails.
  • Gently roll the bow and adhere in the middle to make the loops, turning the ribbon tails back under the loops.
  • Finish of the centre with a pearl.

Thanks for taking the time today, now on with the Hop...........
