Stampin' Royalty #42 - Ribbon's

Well, today I've had the best day! I got to try a new challenge & new technique! Stampin' Royalty have a challenge going at the moment to use RIBBONS! Am loving ribbon at the moment & thought I might have a go at a technique I saw on YouTube, a flower made with Satin ribbon. It is amazing & while it did take me a bit of practice & it doesn't look exactly how hers did - it's good enough for me!

So here is my entry -

I haven't made a card for my Sweet Husband for ages & I just got the I {love} Love Roller in my last order & thought I'd put it to good use! I even made him a fancy inner...

What a fun roller it is! I found it easier to use once I pulled it off the roller & cut it up into individual stamps, I found a website that sells EZ Mount cling adhesive which basically means they become exactly like the clear stamps - the only thing you miss is the picture of your stamp on the back, nothing a stampamajig can't fix! Im going to get heaps more use out of those sentiments now.

Also, as I said before, the flower on the front is made from satin ribbon that's cut at fairly even intervals, then trimmed & melted slightly with the heat gun. It curls the ribbon up making them look like petals. I'm a visual learner, so the YouTube demo was fantastic, dead easy to follow, I encourage you all to watch it & make some flowers! Here's a close up -

There are a few other challenges i've seen in my latest travels through blogland, so hopefully this wont be my last post for too long....fingers crossed! lol

Till next time, talk soon XX
