Uniquely Ribbon

Today is our Close To My Heart technique blog hop -- if you have come from Judy Faye's blog, you are moving right along. This is a circle hop so just keep going and when you get back to where you started, you have seen them all. We are doing ribbon in a new way --

For Christmas, Mom and I purchased the puppies a couple of new little throw blankets. The little throws were wrapped with a big ribbon. I love to recycle, so I kept the ribbon.

My little creation uses this ribbon as the grass along the bottom of the card.  Using a 3"x 3" card base, I stamped the sentiment, masked it and stamped the flower stems. I removed the mask. Next, I took a piece of the ribbon and unraveled one end. This ribbon was added to the bottom of the card.

A few Buttercup flowers were added with a button center. A little piece of stash ribbon with a knot tied at one end.

Last, I added a paper butterfly, which goes nicely with butterfly sentiment (a little sneak peek at a new 2013 Summer/Spring stamp set).

I hope you enjoyed my little unique ribbon creation, I would love for you to leave me a comment. Now on to Joy's blog to see her ribbon idea.
