You should be coming to my blog from Ginny's Blog. (For the complete blog list, scroll to the bottom of the post.)
Here is a peeky at the RRR June Ribbon Club. It's a hot, summer-time color combo! This one is called "Brazilian Summer Mix"!
People, can I just say, this ribbon club deal is the best $9 you will ever spend! That is a lot of ribbon for the price. Each month you get a lovely, hand-selected, hand-cut, hand-packaged bag of ribbon. What more could a girl (or crafty guy) want?! {wink}
I went out of my "zone" this month for this card. I am not much for "hot" colors, and this yellow and pink ribbon from the June Ribbon Club is certainly HOT! I matched it up with paper that was a bit lighter in tone, but still had the hot pinks and yellows.
I tied a double bow. This was a bit difficult since the grosgrain is so thick. My knot was kind of "bulgy." I added a button to cover it up!
I love the gray paper and dark gray ink with all of this hot hot hot color! Gray is the new "black" I guess. {smirk}
