Springtime Thinking

Create your own background, using scraps of leftover ribbon. What do you think? 

Stamps:

   Swirls & Curls Verses

Paper:

   Daffodil Delight A-2

   Basic White 5-1/4 x 4 (2)

Ink:

   Tuxedo Black Memento

   Pool Party

Technique:

   Sponging

   Die Cutting

Accessories:

   Scraps of Ribbon

   Butterfly Thinlits Dies

   Beautiful Wings Embossilits

   Lattice Die

   Basic Rhinestone Jewels

   Basic Pearl Jewels

   Spray Adhesive

   Classic Label Punch

   Dimensionals

   Glue Dots

   Adhesive

First, I sprayed a Basic White panel with adhesive. Note - I did this outside in my driveway. Please read labels carefully.

I then used a ribbon that was wider than the others for the diagonal center of the panel. I placed it as shown above. It is the lime green with polka dots.

Next, I added the striped ribbon on each side of this one.

I then placed the dark blue polka dot one on each side, followed by a yellow and then a light blue. 

Next, I repeated the pattern, until the card front was full.

I then flipped the panel and cut off all of the ends of the ribbon to make it flush with the Basic White panel.

Next, I adhered the panel onto a Daffodil Delight card front.

I then grabbed leftover die cuts from my stash. I did list all of the dies and punches that they came from in case you want to make your own. 

Next, I stamped, punched, and sponged the sentiment. I attached it, using dimensionals.

I then arranged the pieces on the card and attached them with glue dots, dimensionals, or adhesive.

Lastly, I added a few rhinestones, pearls, and adhered a Basic White panel to the inside of the card.

At the end, I thought it was a bit busy. So, I may just create a ribbon background with maybe a butterfly die cut and a sentiment.
