Birthday Card for the July Really Reasonable Ribbon Blog Hop

Good morning and welcome to the Really Reasonable Ribbon July Blog Hop.

If you are here for the Scrapping Everyday Miracles 2nd Birthday Blog Hop Celebration, go here.

  

If you've just been inspired by Jeannie's fabulous work, you are in the right place. If not, you can join us for some summer inspiration with the gorgeous July RRR Ribbon Club Assortment by hopping on over to the RRR Blog to start at the beginning. There you will find all the blog hop and prize details.

Just look at the gorgeous ribbons in this month's RRR Ribbon Club Assortment! These sizzling citrus colors are perfect to create summer themed projects. I created this birthday card for my my mom using the gorgeous lace and altered orange sheer ribbon.  

Birthday Card

Tips and Techniques:

Colored Ribbon ~ For this card, I needed more of a peach color than the brighter orange, so I spritzed this sheer orange and satin ribbon from the July Ribbon Club Assortment with a golden brown glimmer mist by Tattered Angels called Cork. It turned out to be just the right color to get the look I wanted to achieve. I don't hesitate to snip off a piece of ribbon and experiment with color. There are many ways to color your ribbons from mists, to inks, and even alcohol inks or markers. 

Double Loop Bow ~ This bow took about 18 inches of ribbon. The tutorial for this double loop bow by Ginny can be found here.

Lace ~ Snips of Scor-Tape keep this beautiful lace in place. 

Pearls ~ Every girly card needs a little bling, and I used some of Bonnie's Kaisercraft Pearls next to my sentiment. 

Distressing ~ Done of course with my Donna Salazar Distrezz-It-All

I created another birthday card posted earlier this week using the green Diamond Satin Ribbon in the July Ribbon Club Assortment along with a variety of other ribbons and products from the Really Reasonable Ribbon Store. The green ribbon in the Ribbon Club Assortment was misted and inked to alter the color and bring out the diamond design. 

Details and close-ups of this card can be found here.
