The other day I mentioned that my favorite product from the Festive Farmhouse Suite in the Holiday Catalog was the fun Designer Series Paper. I was also telling you that it’s not just for Christmas.
So…I got out my Festive Farmhouse Designer Series Paper and went to work. After a little pondering, I came up with this simple anniversary card. No, it’s not my anniversary but the Cherry Cobbler stripes on the paper made me think of hearts for some reason.
It’s a pretty simple card but what I want you to notice on the card is the ribbon. Check it against the ribbons you find in both catalogs. It’s not in a catalog, is it? 🙂
Hmm….how did I get Cherry Cobbler ribbon? I used the Whisper White 3/8″ Classic Weave Ribbon and my Dark Cherry Cobbler Stampin’ Blends Marker! It was so EASY! With the brush side of the marker I just kept adding color to the ribbon to get the saturation that I wanted. To keep my fingers from getting marker all over them I kept the ribbon on the roll as I colored the length that I wanted.
This little trick works like a charm on any light colored ribbon. Give it a try! Leave me a comment and let me know what you think of today’s tip. Have a great day! Take care and Happy Stamping!
