AYLI Favourite way to add ribbon


Hello friends, Thursday again, sniffing distance of the weekend and another new challenge at



We would love to know your favourite way to add ribbon. I don't always use ribbon, but when I do I tie a bow ( in this case, seam binding) and attach to a length of the same ribbon wrapped around the card, as you can see below. It adds a bit of "pretty" without too much fuss.


I have made a get well card this time using some goodies from My Mum's Craft Shop, where there are currently bargains galore to be had!! I love fussy cutting images usually but could well be a convert having bought the die to match the gorgeous MFT stamp!! She was coloured with Promarkers to match the papers, as usual!! To add some definition I inked the edges of the papers too, must do that more often as I quite like the effect!!

Well, that is me for today. Thank you for your visit xx

Thanks for the bonk on the forehead, Sarah, as I NEVER remember to add a light ink dusting around the edges and I just love it. Why is it so hard to remember some of these sweet little tips - even with a hamster, for crying out loud?! I love your clever way of adding the bow and think you've made this darling girl shine with the pp you've used!! Hugs, Darnell
