Strawberries, Flowers, and Ribbon!

Oh my!

Today’s cards were inspired by Sharon’s Stamp Simply Challenge #83—”Thread it Through!”  In other words—use threaded ribbon on the project.

I don’t have a ribbon threading punch, but I do have a handheld small rectangle punch.  So, with ruler in hand, I made a template.  And since I went to all the trouble of making the template, I also made two cards.

They are fairly simple cards with similar layouts—keeping with the Stamp Simply theme.

The first one is made with my brand spankin’ new Rubber Stamp Tapestry stamps.  I won them in a blog candy contest on the company’s blog.

I also used Versa Color inks in Cardinal, Burgundy, Evergreen, Green Tea, and Charcoal;  FUN STUFF!

This card used stamps from Starving Artistamps.

Stamps: flowers from the DoodleFactory Easter set and Small Dots background;

Ink: VersaMark; Shell Pink Adirondack; Tim Holtz Distress Ink for watercoloring;

Paper: Bazzill-Quartz; watercolor paper;

Accessories: Handheld sm rectangle punch; ribbon; button, silk flower; white embossing powder;

  Both cards make me think spring!  (Even though strawberry season is at least 6 weeks away).

Thanks for stopping by—Have a great weekend!!
