Really Reasonable Ribbon December Blog Hop


Welcome to the Really Reasonable Ribbon December Blog Hop! You should be coming to my blog from Bonnie's Blog. (For the complete blog list, scroll to the bottom of the post.) After visiting me, hop over to 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 December Ribbon Club Assortment shown below. (The Design Team appreciates your comments, too!)

The December Ribbon Club Assortment is called Winter Carnival Mix. These colors are swoon-worthy aren't they?!?! So soft and so bright at the same time!

Since I need to get my Christmas cards all finished, I decided to go with a Christmas theme again this month, but with some decidedly non-traditional colors!
I color-matched colored pencils to the ribbon club and colored this stunning image from Power Poppy called Glass Ornament Bough, a digital stamp set. I used a mix of pencils - Prismacolor, Arteza, and Marco Raffine. I have been experimenting with all my pencil brands and...happy news...they like to play together!

The card is 6 1/8" x 4 7/8". I know, it's a strange size! But it will fit into a 7" x 5" envelope! 
I wrapped the Tropic Delicate Stitched Satin Ribbon around the corners of the card. Then I topped that with the Shell Print Geranium Satin Ribbon. I created a bow from the Garden Rose Delicate Stitched Satin Ribbon, then added another bow made from the Shell Print Geranium ribbon. 
 I placed some sparkly enamel dots all around the image for that festive touch! 
Thanks for looking! Now, hop over to Ginny's Blog to see what she has for you!
