Wanna Get Dirty?…

Posted by Jen | cards, challenges, events | Wednesday, July 23, 2008

The Dare To Get Dirty ‘08 challenges are in full swing over on SCS. This card is a sample that I made for Jody’s “It’s All About The Ribbon” Challenge. I started with my inspiration…American Crafts ribbon and let it lead me on all aspects of the card. You will notice that the card is long and thin {cut with Nestabilities}. The scalloped edges resemble the dots on the ribbon. Of course the punched circles also mimic the ribbon’s pattern. It looked a little plain without any stamping throughout the card, so I used a Hero Arts clear set that I got a while back. I used VersaMark so that the image would not be too dramatic on the circles {or “olka-dots” as we now refer to them here}.

Be sure to join the Dirty Girls for the next several days for lots of fun challenges. I am hosting a challenge on Saturday, in addition to the Sketch For You To Try here.

    I love your card and the ribbon you used is great! How did you get such a perfect bow? I just end up making a knot because my bows don’t look cute.
