When Stampin' Up or Papertrey Ink comes out with new cardstock colors, the first thing that I do is cut a sample that I can keep in my billfold. Then when I am in a craft store and the ribbon is on sale, I try to find ribbons that match the cardstock.
Yesterday, I had a sample of the new Stampin' Up color - Pool Party - and I found this beautiful, satiny, ruffled ribbon at Hobby Lobby. It's so soft and sweet. (FYI - for this card, I did layer on a sheer polka dot ribbon too - that's not part of the actual ribbon.)
So I knew that whatever today's Splitcoast Sketch Challenge was, I would be using this ribbon!
I used some Plum Berry and Clear Smooch to give it some shine and I added a few drops of Crystal Effects to the wheels.
The image is a digital image from Designed2Delight. (FYI: It is not part of their weekly free deal that I have talked about in the past.) Being part of a church card ministry, it was such a happy find to have a baby carriage that says "Heaven Sent".
- Stamps: Designed2Delight Baby Buggy, sentiment from Papertrey Ink Bitty Baby Blessing
- Paper: Stampin' Up Pool Party, Wisteria Wonder
- Ink: copics
- Accessories: "Pool Party" ribbon from Hobby Lobby, sheer ribbon is May Arts, Smooch - Plum Berry (mini bottle from Michaels) and Pearlized Top Coat (sold by Stampin' Up), crystal Effects, EK Success Border punch, Stampin' Up Scallop Border, Cuttlebug embossing folder, safety pin from Creative Impressions
What an awesome idea - If we had a craft store here I'd totally steal it! LOL!
