Camellia Cottage Designs: Little Red Wagon ... Two Different Ribbons

Thanks for visiting!

Welcome! This is the place where I share the cards and other crafty projects that I make in my little studio. When I was small, my mother taught me how to make paper dolls from pictures in the Sears catalog, and furniture from cardboard. I am now in my late 50's and still playing with paper!

While you are here I hope you will find inspiration and ideas for making your own projects, however any cards or images you find here are my personal property and should not be used for your own contests or challenges. Thank You!

Little Red Wagon ... Two Different Ribbons

Me again! Here to share a card I made for the Little Red Wagon challenge '2 Different Ribbons'. You must have at least 2 (or more) different ribbons on your project. Here is my project for this challenge ...

I can't tell you how happy I am about this card!!! I have been working and working on layering, and stalking some of my card making heroes like Cherry Nelson and Beatriz Jennings and more. I think this one came close to what I have been wanting, so I am very pleased with it! Here are the details ...

Supplies:

Card base - Michaels 'Recollections' Value Pack with Envelopes
Base patterned paper, K&Company 'Cut 'n' Paste' Stack (two floral images also came from this same sheet!)
Bird image - Bumble Button
Sentiment - SRM Stickers
Sparkly ribbon and laces, button - my stash
Orange ribbon - 7 Gypsies
Green ribbon - Anna Griffin
Brown ink - Stampabilities
Stickles - Platinum - Ranger Inks
Chipboard oval - Crafty Secrets
Chipboard frame - Tattered Angels

Tools:

Martha Stewart / EK Success Paper Trimmer
Scissors, craft knife, ruler
EK Success border punch 'Arch Scallop'

Tips:

Image - I printed 2 copies, trimmed one in it's entirety, and then fussy cut the second leaving only the bird and limb it is sitting on. Then I bumped the fussy cut image up on foam dots and placed it over the original in the image.
Rose bouquet on left side is fussy cut from the K&Company paper sheet from 'Cut 'n' Paste' stack. After trimming it, I inked the edges then touched them with platinum Stickles.
Rose Medallion in lower right corner - I cut the rose from the same K&Co. paper, then placed the chipboard oval where I wanted it and scored around it so the paper would fold easily. Then I clipped around the edges of the paper and folded it under the chipboard gluing as I went along. Then I cut a length of lace and glued it underneath the medallion.

And that is it! I really, truly LOVE this card, and I hope you have enjoyed it, too! Thanks for visiting! Blessings, Becky
