How do you add ribbon?

Hello!! Hope you are all doing ok, wherever you are in the world.

Don't be alarmed but there is not a cute image in sight on my card today. Instead I used one of the rather lovely sentiments from LOTV. The equally lovely papers are from a Tilda pad that I have been stroking  had for over ten years and finally used!!


 It is hopefully to inspire you to join in the new challenge that starts today at 

As You Like It Challenge

and your prompt this time is to show us how you add ribbon to your cards. I may have mentioned once or twice  that my ribbon collection is almost as vast as my papers!! Sadly I don't use ribbon too much these days but when I do it's to add a bow which I always think adds a really nice finishing touch.

Thank you for dropping by and for your kind comments on my recent makes. It is much appreciated.

Have a good weekend and see you soon xx

I'm with you and the ribbon situation, I have a huge stash from my preCAS days and really must get some used!

Oooh, I do hope that wasn't too painful Sarah, I know the feeling well. I buy so many papers just because they are pretty, but as you know rarely use them and it's a wrench when I do.

It's a beautiful sentiment and great design in those lovely shades of pink.

Hi Sarah

A very striking and beautiful card. Love the colours very much.

You made me smile when you said you were using a paper pad you have been stroking for years .. .. I had some like that but shocked myself when I got them out only to find my taste had changed and I wasn't so keen on them anymore .. .. .. so now I use papers while I still like them LOL!!!

Enjoy your bank holiday weekend.

Love Jules xx
