I've been wanting to make one of these ribbon blossoms for quite some time. Well, last week they put up a great tutorial over at Splitcoast. You can find it HERE. The tutorial I'd seen before didn't tell me to tie the ribbons - No wonder I couldn't get it to work, LOL! This takes so much time and ribbon that I probably won't make another, but at least I can say I did it now! heehee
Here's my attempt at the ribbon blossom: I think the ribbons needed trimmed some more to shape the blossom better, but I tell ya, it's no fun to chop all that ribbon off after working so hard on it, LOL!
I made this card for my friend Loretta - her birthday is this week. The stamp is from The Angel Company.
Beautiful card. I haven't ever made one of those ribbon blossoms...never heard of them before but it's wonderful! Your card is great and I love the stamp set!!! Hope things are going great with the house! Hugs, Bridgett
You're friend is very lucky to get such a beautiful card! All the time and effort it must have taken shows! Works perfectly with the sentiment.. nice job!
I agree with it needing to be trimmed but I don't think it will be easy, I know I wouldn't do it. I wouldn't waste so many beautiful pieces of ribbon. You did great!
