I have Share the Wealth Blog Candy going on right now on this post HERE! Come play!!
Hi there, I have a new bow to share. Actually it’s more accurate to say bow treatment but if you hate tying bows this “treatment” is probably for you!! This has been on my work table forever, I was just waiting for the right card to inspire me to use it. I put together this card using JustRite Stampers – Mother Natures Gifts. The flower from the set is framed using Spellbinders circles and the sentiment from JustRite Stampers Fancy Tags Sets is stamped on a pennant accessory from Spellbinders Nested Pennants set.
Oh silver, where have you been all my life? It seems to me that this month I’ve used so many things I don’t usually use. Silver falls into this category and I sure don’t know why. I love using foil for matting and accent and the silver in this card won my heart over. These are different colors for me (yes, there’s even a little bit of lavender in there) – another of those things I oddly steer away from. With this serene K & Co paper, I could bring all these orphans out with abandon!

Becca,
Thank you so much for this tutorial, I’ve always been memorized with the gorgeous bows you make and your tutorials are wonderful but often my hands just won’t behave for me to create them. This is just fantastic as I’ll be able to make these I’m sure. I’ve added ribbon with the sting to my shopping list and thought how very pretty a wreath and matching card would make. ;)
Thank you again!

Lovely card. I love silver. I’m wondering if you can do a tutorial on the beaded pin. I know this must be very simple but it eludes me. Thanks

Wow! How cool is this treatement. Love It. Thanks for the Video. I am such a visual learner. How would this work with wire. Would you just mold the wire or will it also pull llike thread through the ribbon?
January 28, 2011
10:09 am
Hi Becca.
I am so bow challenged ! I will certainly try this technique , but wonder about how the wired ribbon would work ( I will try it . ). Thank you for the tutorial. Today’s card is lovely, as are all your cards. Thank you for sharing and the inspiration.
January 28, 2011

Lovely card!! I love silver so much and use it more often for an accent than gold depending on my color scheme, of course. Thanks for sharing the new bow… I’ll have to watch the video later because I have o go to another computer to do that.

What a beautiful card – I love the colors and what a great idea for ribbon. I usually don’t add bows to my card but this is great – certainly a lot less bulk when sending through the mail then a knot in the middle of the bow. I can’t wait to try this one. As always, you’re perfect. Thanks for the video showing how you did it.
