Challenge #186: Ribbons and Buttons
Use at least 1 ribbon and 1 button on your project
Happy Monday! It's time for another fun challenge over at Fantabulous Cricut!! This week's challenge is Ribbons and Buttons. We want you to use at least 1 ribbon and 1 button on your project.
For my project, I made a card for a good friend of mine from college who is expecting her first baby - a little girl - in a few weeks. She and her husband are decorating the baby's room in Winnie the Pooh. This was the perfect excuse for me to break out my Winnie the Pooh cartridges!
I used her shower invitation as the inspiration for this card. The invitation had a white base, then yellow and pink layers, and had a strip of polka dots, and Winnie the Pooh, too! So, I used yellow and pink as the primary colors for my card. Instead of using polka dot paper, I embossed the background layer with my Polka Dots embossing folder. I tied yellow crinkle ribbon around the card, and dressed up the bow with a twine bow and button.
I used my Imagine to color white cardstock just the right colors for Winnie the Pooh and his shirt. I was able to find the RGB codes online. Instead of using the print and cut feature on my Imagine though, I printed squares of color, then cut the image on my Expression. Sometimes my Imagine leaves just a tiny border of white around the image when it cuts, and I didn't want that on this image.
This was my first time putting one of the Pooh images together. It was a little tricky to piece together, but I'm really happy with how it turned out. My sweetie was surprised I had made it - he thought I had bought it!!
