No Ribbon . . . Really!

by Becca Feeken on September 27, 2009

The other day I got a comment from someone who said they didn’t think I could make a card without ribbon. Ha . . Ha . . yes I can!!! . . . well . . . there really is no ribbon, right? When that comment came in, I knew exactly what card I’d be making. This is set of stamps from Northwood Rubber Stamps for which I can think of no other words except simple and classic. It can be stamped and embossed or colored, layered or not layered, it’s as simple as that.

I embossed three of the ribbon stamps and three of the bow stamps with Gold Detail Embossing Powder on Prism Simply Smooth Cardstock. To assemble I simply layered the bow for some dimension. For the sentiment, also from Northwoods Rubber Stamps, I cut/embossed Spellbinders Labels Nine then traced around the inside with a gold pen.

Card Recipe:
Stamps: Northwoods courtesy of Stampers Dream
Paper: Prism So Smooth – white, The Paper Company
Ink: Versamark and Gold Detail Embossing Powder
Accessories: Spellbinders Labels Nine, Gold Pen

Thanks for stopping by today!! Be blessed :-)

Beautiful card. And at first glance it does look like ribbon. Thanks so much for the tip about using the gold pen inside the Nestie. That ads so much depth to the sentiment piece.

This is a lovely card. I’m really liking the Northwood stamps that I see you using. Just a little sneaky on the ribbon thing though.

You are SO talented…who cares if you don’t use ribbon!!?? But I admire you for taking the challenge. I just would have ignored it. Everything you do is wonderful …who cares if we don’t use ribbon or nesties??!! I want my cards to look professional and I know you do too!! Thanks for all your inspiration!!

LOL, ok, technically I supposed that you are right, it’s not a ribbon ribbon. But visually it IS a ribbon! It’s also a very pretty card. Gotta give you points on this one.
