Hello Stampers~
Today I have a special treat for you. I was fortunate enough to be asked to write a tutorial for Splitcoaststampers, and today's the day it goes live! Granted, it is the world's most SIMPLE tutorial; but I do so love the technique. :) You can check it out for yourself right HERE.
The card above is the sample I made for the tutorial. If you're wondering how to make that ruffled ribbon border, well, that's what the tutorial is! ;) I used Flourishes gorgeous new Spring Has Sprung stamp set, and some luscious papers from Echo Park's For the Record collection.
I colored the image with Copic markers. Here's a close up view for you:
The main ribbon is green Cotton Linen, and I added some cotton Twill and cream Wired Netting. I used the Classic Oval Nestabilities Dies from Spellbinders, and sponged on some Tim Holtz Antique Linen Distress Ink. I added some Copper Nailheads down the left edge of the card.
Here are the Copic markers I used:
Thanks a million for visiting with me today, friends!
Hugs,
~Cindy
