I changed the layout a bit but I'm sure you can see the influence!
The picture isn't the best as it was scanned in and I always struggle with white cards and cards with dimension!!
The floral background stamp, from the Non Sequitur Memories of Italy stamp set, was stamped directly onto the card front using Adirondack Currant dye ink.
A length of burgundy grosgrain ribbon was attached across the card blank and a faux bow was created from two lengths of the ribbon.
Just wanted to add a tip on how to make the faux bow.
I created two loops of ribbon from a 9cm and 4cm length of ribbon, joining the loops with narrow double-sided tape. A small piece of double-sided tape was added in the centre of the loops to create two small side -by-side loops in a sort of figure of eight shape. The smaller loop was stuck on top of the larger one and both stuck to the length of ribbon. You could also add a brad in the centre to ensure they maintain their shape.
The sentiment, from the Woodware Jane's Script stamp set, was stamped using the Currant ink above the ribbon.
Here are the blog challenges I am entering this card into:
- Rainbow Lady - #166 - Song Of Choice (Thank You - Dido)
