Happy Tuesday ~ at least I hope it is for all of us! I've been a bit down lately wondering if it's time to make some changes {creatively speaking}. I saw a great card on Facebook yesterday by Susan Opel & it inspired me to try a technique I've been wanting to do ~ and I hoped it might get my juices flowing.
Anyway, I love all the ribbon and fabric flowers I've seen out there & thought this pleated ribbon from Maya Roads would work great for the technique ~ and it does!
So how do you do it? Here ya go ~ I simply started with a 2" cardstock circle and added a sheet of Scor-tape to it. Then I started around the outside of the circle adding the pleated ribbon. It works so well because it already has the breaks in the ribbon & turns beautifully. Just keep wrapping the ribbon around toward the center and cut the ribbon. Finish with a brad to hide the edge of the ribbon ~ Easy Peasy!
Supplies from i{heart}papers: Pattern Paper ~ Crate Paper (Restoration); Sentiment ~ Unity December Store Kit of the Month; Ink ~ Palette; Trim ~ Maya Road; Pleated Ribbon ~ Maya Road; Embossing Folder ~ Quickuts; Epoxy Brad ~ Basic Grey.
