I know a lovely young lady, who is my 'daughter from another mother', as a family we have known her for years, and love her dearly! We have hung onto eachother through good times and bad times...and this card was made to celebrate one of her very good times!
She was homeschooled, and struggled with some things, but just last month she passed her GED!!!! We're incredibly proud of course, and I wanted to make her a special card to celebrate.
I used a couple of Distress Ink pads to add color to the background...and used the same ink pads to dye the ribbon I used for the bow!
And I love the stamp I used on the inside...so inspiring!
I followed this tutorial to dye the ribbon...and made a few more while I was at it! Try it! You just need a bit of water and a Distress Ink pad...really, that's it!!!
Would you believe that the ribbons started out looking like this???
Supplies:
- cardstock: Neenah
- ink: Ranger Distress Ink, Memento
- ribbon: Hug Snug seam binding
- stamps: Unity 'Impossible Dream', 'empowered words'
Thanks so much for stopping by, and have fun hopping around for inspiration!
