Here's a pretty project....I created this using a few different punches and one Spellbinder's border die. The only hard part is choosing your papers....understandable if you have a billion (ahem) sheets of untouched designer series cardstock! But I did it by narrowing down a few sheets that seemed to go together and I have a real fondness for kraft and pink combination, so maybe it wasn't that hard, lol.
Its pretty self-explanatory, and perhaps the only real note is that I created a ribbon rosette by threading a ' wave ' pattern onto a strip of ribbon and pulled the threads so it curled up on itself. Attach the two ends and voila - you have a rosette! I finally got to use a brad too that has been in my collection for-evah!!! I hated to finally delve into a red pleated ribbon roll .....maybe I should titled this post - " using up your supplies"!
Another note, I " painted " the card's edges with a bit of white paint for a more shabby feel.....hey, have fun making your own!!!!
