Really Reasonable Ombre Organza bows

My Wee stamp candy link here throughout the month of September

Monday already?  I suppose that's as good a time as any to share another way to incorporate your Really Reasonable Ribbons into your card in such a way that really makes it POP!  

I've used a Whimsy Print from the Elizabeth Bell collection so there was NO coloring involved!  Makes things go so much faster! 
  Then I've designed one of my favorite style of card, the 1/2 split card.  Just one 5 x 5 piece of stock scored in half!  I've used the beautiful Sheer Ombre Peach/Yellow colored organza 5/8 inch wide ribbon and made several little bows around the frame!  They resemble butterflies I think?

The hole piercing tool gave texture all the way around the edge and some lovely gems bring in the bling!  The inside of the card was embellished with a Cherry Cake tag and it was also wrapped in matching ribbon.

  Some times the most simple card can become the most inciting to try huh?

For this and other great inspiration on how to use your Really Reasonable Ribbons in a different way, stop by the Really Reasonable Ribbon Ramblings blog today!    If you've made something for the Back To School season, don't forget to enter it to win in the Really Reasonable Ribbon Challenge, there are still 4 more days left to play!
