Really Reasonable Ribbon June Blog Hop

Here is a peeky at the RRR June Ribbon Club Assortment. This assortment is called Citrus. Look at all that summer-time fun! Those hot yellows and oranges just scream sunshine!

I struggled just a bit with the project this week, and I am humbled to say that this card is attempt #2! I had an idea in my head that just would NOT work itself out! So, I figured, let's just glue on a bunch of flowers and a big ribbon! Everyone loves that! {Right??!?} I went with gray and white as my neutrals, which softens up all the bright colors.

I used the Tangerine Delicate Stitched Satin to make a large loopy bow. I made a small bow from the Maize Honeycomb Print Satin and tied it around the large bow. The large yellow flower has been in my stash for ages, so I decided to use it up! I used a Wink of Stella pen to color the center bits to make them sparkly, and to turn the brown to a more gray color. {It did not work as well as I'd hoped!} 

There are lots of Wild Orchid Crafts flowers, as well as some awesome Silver Spirals - all from the RRR Store! I pulled one of the Silver Bead Berry Spray Clusters apart and used some of the single stems as well.  

I finished up the card with Iridescent White String (out of stock) and some small pearls. I then added a die cut sentiment to the top of the card. (You can also see a doily poking out at the bottom of the bow!) I have to admit, this card is a huge, colorful punch in the eye!

Thanks for stopping by today! Now, hop over to Ginny's Blog to see what she has for you!
