The sponsor for the October 5th Challenge at Caardvarks are the wonderful folks from May Arts Ribbon. They let the Varks Crew choose two different ribbons for our DT cards, and let me tell you it took me hours to decide. Their ribbon is amazing, and I wish I had some of every single one. You can check out the retail store locator to find a seller in your area. They also have a blog with contests and giveaways.
The "Take a Bow" Challenge is to make a card showcasing ribbon. The prize will be a fabulous stash of May Arts Ribbon. Rather than tie a bow with this delicious chocolate faux suede ribbon, I tied it in knots like little bow ties. I wanted to show that ribbon can be the focal point for masculine designs too.
I attached a strip of ribbon to the Marrakech Striped DP, and then added the ribbon knots with glue dots. I finished with a tiny sentiment from Hero Arts Anytime Messages punched with a 7/8 square and nestled between the knots. I think this picture gives you a little better idea of the wonderful texture of this ribbon.
I can't wait to see what you create.
I really love this Stef! Such a wonderful way to incorporate ribbon into a masculine project! That faux sued is so rich too!
