Really Reasonable Ribbon August Blog Hop

Welcome to the Really Reasonable Ribbon August Blog Hop! You should be coming to my blog from the Really Reasonable Ribbon Blog. (For the complete blog list, scroll to the bottom of the post.) After visiting me, hop over to the spectacular Ginny's Blog next! 

Here is the RRR August Ribbon Club Assortment. This month the collection is called Autumn Harvest Assortment. My favorite ribbon clubs each year are the Christmas, Patriotic, Halloween, and Autumn assortments! The autumn ribbons for 2017 do NOT disappoint!

I chose to make a "ribbon stack," as I normally do. I know, I am less than creative with my ribbon use! I simply love stacking the various ribbons together to achieve a new look. This time, I stacked the Natural Crochet Lace with the Kiwi Checkerboard Satin on top. I tied a double bow with the Moss and Cream Plaid and glued that to the stacked trims. I then tied a messy, loopy bow with Brown Burlap String and attached that to the bow. I topped the whole thing with a ceramic button.   

I decided to add several patterned papers and one large image rather than add a bunch of bits and bobs. The image is a digital stamp from Power Poppy called Pure Prairie Bouquet. (There is also a clear stamp version called Pure Prairie Spirit.) 

I printed the image at a whopping 5 1/2" x 6 7/8" onto 100 pound vellum surface paper. (Neither of my printers liked this super thick cardstock, but the Epson finally did the job!) 

I colored the entire image with Prismacolor Colored Pencils. I am not very skilled with the pencils yet, but I do love how some of the flowers turned out! I will keep trying and keep learning.

I created this as a folio card, which is 8 1/2" x 8 1/2". I put white cardstock on the inside so it can be used during Thanksgiving as a memory folio. Each person in the family can write what they are thankful for on the inside and the folio card can be displayed on the table. 

I am entering my card into these challenges:
