Easter Cards - #2

This Easter Card features ribbons, ribbons, ribbons!  I really love ribbons.  I don't think we use them enough on cards. There is such a variety and some truly spectacular companies  that produce some of the most beautiful ribbons I have seen (Mays Arts to name one).  Prima Flowers has some new selections in ribbons and many companies that make scrapbook papers also sell matching ribbons.

To add the ribbons below:
  1. Take two ribbons and join them at one end.
  2. Put a glue dot between the two ribbon ends and attach them together (this will make it easier to work with)
  3. Take the one end and attach it with a glue dot to the back of your card front.
  4. Twist the ribbons loosely around each other.
  5. Trim the ribbons so that you have about one inch overlapping the edge of the card front.
  6. Take another glue dot and attach the ends of the ribbons together.
  7. Fold the ribbon ends to the back of your card front and attach to the back with a glue dot.
  8. Make two bows - one of each ribbon.
  9. Attach each ribbon with a glue dot on top of the twisted ribbons.
  10. (You will notice that I attached the lighter ribbon on the top and the darker on the bottom.  I also matched the bows to the twisted part of the two ribbons that showed the most at each end. I hope this makes sense.)







Stay tuned for more Easter Cards!
