This week's recipe is 1.) include some coloring, 2.) try a little curling and 3.) add a circle.
That's pretty easy peasy, even for a lunk head like me who had the card almost completed when I realized I hadn't paid attention to the recipe. I did color my image and I was ready to attach my lace ribbon flower with the pearl center which would have been a circle but I didn't curl anything. So, what's a girl to do. The orange ribbon was already in place and it wouldn't curl anyway. Then the thunderbolt hit me. Why not try curling a thin slice of card stock. Well, it worked and since it's the card stock used for the mats it's a perfect match. In case you are craft challenged and have no idea how to do this, it's very simple. Slice a sliver of the card stock and then roll it around a pencil and voila, you've got a curly ribbon. I stuck a glue dot on the card to attach the ribbons.
So now it's your turn. I hope to see you play along with us.

Fabulous birthday card. I love those little dragons. Thanks for joining in with our challenge this week over at OSAAT and good luck Julie DT
ReplyDeleteLove this Chris, & what a brain wave to curl the card stock....my tip (not that you asked lol) is to cut the card stock really thinly with a paper trimmer, just take a tiny sliver off & it curls beautifully, so well in fact my daughter can't bear for me to throw them away!! She keeps hoarding them & putting in little pots like those twig/flower arrangements!!
