Rose Ribbon Card

This card is made entirely out of ribbon.  The card base is kraft cardstock.  To make my card I coated the cover of my card in xyron glue.

• The rose ribbon I'm using is 3 inches wide.  I cut the wire edges off and laid the ribbon down, trimming as needed. The rose ribbon is very satiny feeling so my card will have a neat feel to it.
• I added
• 3/4 inch red line tape about midway on the card.
• the lace ribbon to the lower half of the red line tape.
• the mauve ribbon to the upper half, creating a fold as I went.
• I chose to fold the end to the back but trimming at the edge would work too.

To make the bow:
You will need:

• 1/2 inch and 1/4 inch ribbon
• 1 x 6 inch length of the 1/4 inch ribbon
• 1 x 12 inches of each 1/2 and 1/4 inch ribbons

1. 1. Take a length of 1/2 inch ribbon, leave a tail about 3 inches long pointing toward the floor. Wind the ribbon about 3 times around three fingers (I used my right hand) and allow the second tail to point up to the ceiling.  Now here's the trick - you have to set it down so that you can make the second part of the bow - so set something on it heavy to hold it, use a clip or a husband. 
2. Follow the same procedure with the 1/4 inch ribbon.
3. Put the thinner ribbon on top of the thicker ribbon.
4. Tie them together with the piece of 6 inch thin ribbon.
5. Fluff and arrange as needed.

Love the red on black faux cameo (I'm in a cameo phase...)

I hope you enjoyed today's card.  Stop by next weekend for another ribbon project!
