This month I’m sharing colorful all-occasion greeting card.
This is a 5-1/2″ x 4-1/4″ basic layered top fold card. When I was unpacking (from my second move!) I found a folder of patterned papers that I obviously could not live without. That’s pretty funny because I almost NEVER use design paper. Well, buckle-up – you’re gonna be seeing some design paper from me ’cause I’m determined to use it up. You can see all the layers I used and I added my signature mulberry paper layer behind the main panel. Along with the bow, I used a layered bit of ribbon behind the main sentiment panel. I love that look. That’s a great way to use ribbon, and still keep the card flat for mailing if you omit the bow and flowers. I also added a few mulberry roses to the bottom of the sentiment.

My card is topped off with a pretty bi-color double loop bow created on my Bow-it-All V3.0 Tool using the pretty plaid ribbon from the March Ribbon Club Assortment from Really Reasonable Ribbon.

Bonnie – I always love to see your work with the bows! Love the double bow – ribbons, and those beautiful roses! Such a stunning card – thanks for the hop and for showing us your art work and the headbands are lovely [wore headbands growing up through elementary to junior high] have a fab day!
Spring Fling ribbon assortment does add freshness to both head band and card!!
This collection of ribbons makes one dynamite head band! I am always impressed by your creations/talent and look forward to next month.
Beautiful card. I love the Never lose your sense of wonder phrase. What a great theme to welcome spring. I used to use mulberry paper often, but got on to other things. Thanks for the reminder of what it does for a card!
LOVE the colors on both your projects! This card has such a cheerful look…makes me put thoughts of winter behind me. That 2 tone bow is so pretty. Nice work!
Gorgeous bows and floral arrangement! I LOVE the headband too!
Pretty card and headband with these ribbons.
