Birthday Wishes


This is one of the cards I designed for a workshop that Julie hosted on the weekend. All the girls commented on the ribbon. Notice the edges are coloured. A new little trick that was in this months Stampin' Success.

This 'colour-edged' ribbon is so easy to achieve - just take what ever colour Stampin' Write marker and run it along your White Grosgrain ribbon. Colour the back side of the ribbon - the side where there is a wee bit of a lip along the edge.
The glitter was applied with Tombow adhesive. Another way to apply the glitter would be to take your VersaMarker and 'colour' where you want the glitter to be. Then apply Heat & Stick powder, and then the glitter. This will give you the same look, just a couple more steps involved.


Card recipe: Sahara Sand (covered the front), Regal Rose, Tempting Turquiose and Whisper White cardstock; Bali Breeze double sided designer paper; Crimper; Staz-on black ink; markers to colour; Tombow and Turquiose Fine Cosmo Glitter; White Grosgrain ribbon; For A Friend (level 1 hostess set) and Just Celebrate (from Occasions Mini) stamp set
