Hi all,
Wow, what a fun challenge this is, infact, I think I may HAVE to do some more color combos before I'm done!!
For the challenge this morning, I chose Bingo straight across the top with So Saffron, Blushing Bide, Baked Brown Sugar and Cherry Cobbler.
I admite that this is MOSTLY Blushing Bride and Baked Brown Sugar but I have Cherry Cobbler in the shading and a So Saffron floor she is dancing on.
I used Redline Tape to pleat my 3/8" dotted ribbon. It was too narrow to do on my machine. The Redline tape worked great. I figured if a person could use it for hems it would work for this! I put it directly onto the back of the card and pleated then put another line of it on top of my pleasts to hold them secure. Because it was a bit thick, I added foam tape to the rest of the image panel to keep it an even plane. I used a 1/8" dotted ribbon to make my bow. I didn't have a sentiment to really go with this so I computer generated the Title of a Western song and used western font. It was an open font so that I could color it to match! I used Tea Dye Distress ink for the edges and also Brilliance ink (the pink) sponged on the rope bg.
Thanks for looking!

When I saw this card, it just made me smile! I always love seeing your coloring and just LOVE the way you design you card! That embossing folder is awesome and what a clever way you used that ribbon. Brilliant too, to add the foam leveling everything out. I tend to have a lumpy panel. You will have us all scrambling for that folder!

Of course cow girls wear pink - and this is such a beautiful example. Your colouring is spectacular as always. I am so impressed with the rope background - specially the way you have coloured it.
