Hi there. It’s time for another fun challenge over at the Really Reasonable Ribbon’s Ramblings Blog. This time we have a Sports Theme and don’t forget to add ribbons or trims to your project.
So, my son Tom is doing triathlons now. I don’t know where he got that from. Clearly NOT me! But he’s doing very well, he’s in great shape, and I’m so proud of him.
I made this card using a photo of him crossing the finish line in his last race. I was ringing that cow bell like a maniac. Hey, ya gotta have fun, right?
Since I’m going to send him this card, I had to keep the ribbon and trims sufficiently ‘manly’. I ran a piece of 5/8″ Apple Green Satin with Grosgrain Edge Ribbon around the bottom of the card under the swim, bike, run logo and topped it with a thin strip of Black Netting. The black netting is 1-1/2″ wide, but you can easily trim it down to whatever width you want. This is about 3/8″ wide. I also added some ribbon loops to the side of the photo. I used Black Delicate Stitched Satin and Turquoise Checkerboard Satin.
I hope you’ll head over to the Really Reasonable Ribbon’s Ramblings Blog and play along with our challenge. Any type of project is welcome.
Thanks for stopping by!
Bonnie, I totally love this wonderful card. It needs a frame! You did such a fabby job of matching colors and using just the right ribbons to really make things pop. Why am I not surprised? I love the title, too. It's clean, crisp and really wonderful!
