Top Tip Tuesday Focus on the Ribbon Card

Hello and welcome here!  Are you enjoying the Olympics?  We are at our house...except for our 4 year old, he'd rather watch cartoons:)  It's time for another Top Tip Tuesday Challenge, and we want to see your ribbon...lots of it, or even making your own ribbon roses, or weaving it etc. We'd love to see your ideas for ribbon.

Challenge - Focus on the Ribbon

DT Tips

Card Size: 4.25" x 5.5"

A big thanks to Delicious Doodles for letting me use the digital image Mythical Pegasus. I envisioned lots of ribbon for this image, what little girl doesn't like ribbons and glitter.  And my Tip to share with you is if you want texture without overloading your image, use Organza Ribbon, it has such a soft, light feel to it.

I added Stickles to the lighter areas of Pegasus, and after it dried I realized I should have used a fine glitter, there's always next time:)  I love the Spellbinders Lacey Ovals, you can tie ribbon on the loops.

Top Tip Tuesday Stitches Challenge

Hello and welcome here! Where is this year going?? I can't believe it's almost March, at least we have an extra day this month to hold March off, lol:) On to the Top Tip Tuesday Challenge for the next 2 weeks...it's a Sewing Challenge, real or faux, and Janette has an awesome comparison Tutorial on sewing. Be sure to check out this weeks blog for Tips from each of the DT!

Challenge - Stitches (real or faux)
Tutorial - Sewing
Tips from each DT member!

Card Size: 5.5" x 5.5"
(shocked I know, I made a card other than 4.25" x 5.5", lol!)

Here is my creation for the sewing challenge. Be sure to click on the picture to check out the stitches, it's difficult to see because I used white thread. I stitched around each square, around the large square, and across the ribbon border.

A big HUGE thank-you goes out to Saturated Canary for giving me this gorgeous girl to colour, she's called Nevaeh. It gave me a chance to practice colouring folds.

I added Stickles to her skirt, the hearts in the top corner and to the rose on the bow. I added some shimmer to the tulle part of her skirt and her top with a Spica pen...but it's so fine you can't see it on the photo.

Purple is one of my favourite colours to work with, but Copic doesn't have a wide range of purples to work with so I had to improvise a little bit with the lightest purple to get the look of pleats...talk about challenging myself, lol. I see from the photo that I could have extended the shadow area a bit more, but I'm still happy with how it turned out especially since I haven't yet mastered folds/pleats.
