SAF 2012: Ribbon Challenge

Stamp-a-Faire had a fun "summer camp" theme along with "badges" that people could "earn" throughout the day. The first badge was the Knots badge - and the challenge associated with it was the Ribbon Techniques Challenge.  There were several different videos posted with ideas for working with several of the different types of PTI ribbon. My personal favorite of their ribbons is their twill tape, but for this challenge I stepped out of my comfort zone. Really far out of my comfort zone. I used my second favorite PTI ribbon: Saddle Stitch and I used Dawn McVey's technique for tying a bow on my card (she also used Saddle Stitch ribbon in her demo).

As I was thinking through what I wanted on my card, I was reaching for my Mat Stack 3 dies that just came in the mail this week and then remembered the little bag of goodies from my friend JenniferK...hmmm, what's in there that might keep me from getting out the Cuttlebug, plates, dies (remember, it's late and I'm tired...I'm also lazy if you want the whole truth). I grab the bag o'goodies and find the most fabulous "get well soon" tag. Perfection! And, it has what appears to be Ripe Avocado bitty dot paper which will go perfectly with my RA Saddle Stitch ribbon. Happy dance.  So, this card looks fabulous because of Jennifer. I just tied the bow and stuck it all on some cardstock with foam dots (the tag, that is).

Cardstock: Fine Linen, Dark Chocolate; Ribbon: Ripe Avocado Saddle Stitch; Tag from Jennifer K

  **edited to add:  Jennifer shared the pieces of the tag with me and here are the deets

the circle flourish is from Spooky Sweets 2, then Turning a New Leaf on Simply Chartreuse bitty dot paper, a butterfly from Butterfly Dreams. I *think* the sentiment is from Tea For Two.
