Really Reasonable Ribbon May Blog Hop


Welcome to the Really Reasonable Ribbon May Blog HopYou should be coming to my blog from the Bonnie's 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!

At the end of the hop, comment on the RRR Blog post, answering the question listed, for a chance to win the May Ribbon Club Assortment shown below. (The Design Team appreciates your comments, too!)

The May Ribbon Club Assortment is - my favorite - a red, white, and blue mix! I love the patriotic collection each year!
I deviated from my usual card project this month and created a 10" tall by 8" wide altered canvas. I have a small stash of thin canvas "board" in my stash that I purchased at an art supply store a few yeas ago...because I thought I was going to get very into mixed media. Well, that never happened, but I have all these canvas boards sitting around! So, I just covered one with printed paper, and...ta da!
I wrapped the length of the canvas with Tiny Stars on Electric Blue Blue Grosgrain, Electric Blue Diamond Satin, and White Satin with Grosgrain Edge ribbons. I then created a big, loopy bow with the white satin and glued it to the upper left corner of the canvas. I found a sparkle star to glue over the center of the bow.
I wrapped the width of the canvas with Tiny Stars on Electric Blue Blue Grosgrain ribbon. I glued a bunch of flowers and feathers to the lower left corner of the canvas. I also added two leaf/feather pins to the flower cluster.
The inspiration behind this while project is this adorable digital stamp image called Wyanet from Sylvia Zet (Wee Stamps/Whimsy Stamps). I have a bunch of these images, each one sweeter than the last! The ribbons really go well with my image! I especially love the white satin!
I really loved this little Native American Indian girl. My mom would have loved her, too! I lost my mom in 2015, but I wanted to color this image for her for Mother's Day this year. Every time I look at it, I will think of Mom. I decided to color little Wyanet to look like I did when I was little, with dark brown eyes and hair, and paler skin. I also used Mom's favorite color, blue. (The markers and pencils I used are listed below.) 
Thanks for joining me today! Now, hop over to Ginny's Blog to see what she has for you!
