We're enjoying some lovely cooler than usual weather for late July in Ohio. I just love the cool evenings and warm days. When I look out at my flowers this time of year, inevitably I spy some gorgeous butterflies. That goes right along with the theme for our next RRR Challenge:
And of course include some ribbon, lace or cording on that project!!
Here's my example for you:
To enter this challenge, create a card, layout, or any handcrafted project. Just be sure to follow the theme and use ribbon, lace, or trim somewhere on your project.
Really Reasonable Ribbon Products
August Ribbon Club Assortment (Cream Ribbon and Lace)
20# Metallic Hemp Cord Assortment ~ Classic
Tombow 3D Foam Tabs
Scor-Tape 6" x 6"
I used the August ScrapThat! Kit along with Really Reasonable Ribbon for this card.
Tips and Techniques:
The Really Reasonable Ribbons from Bonnie's store are so lovely to layer into a card. Here I tucked the cream satin with grosgrain edges from the August Ribbon Club Assortment under the doily and wrapped Classic Metallic Hemp Cord over top of both. I used more of the Metallic Hemp Cord to create the flowing bow. Tombow 3D Foam Tabs were perfect to pop up my hand stitching edged stamped sentiment.
I inked the doily edges and added Want2Scrap lavender pearls from the ScrapThat! Kit and W2S teardrop pearls from my stash.
The sweet delicate natural lace is included in the RRR August Ribbon Club Assortment.
I cut the canvas butterfly with Donna Salazar Wonderful Wings Spellbinder Dies, adding Want2Scrap Coordinating bling. The chicken wire chipboard is also from Want2Scrap.
I hope you've been inspired to create a project for
Really Reasonable Ribbon Challenge #77 ~ Things with Wings

I have to ask ~ What is your favorite type of winged creature to use on your projects?
You've probably guessed, mine is the beautiful butterfly!!
