Hi Everyone, my DT card today is for We Love Stamping. This month, we would love to see your cards with the theme chosen by Cathy of
I don't know which of my stamps are favourite, but I really like this set, I've not used it much though. For some reason I thought of stamping on ribbon, I tried it years ago, and it wasn't successful, my mind works in strange ways, and things pop up.
Anyhow, I tried it on blue hessian kind of ribbon, a complete fail, I tried it on brown hessian, another sort of fail, I tried embossing in white on red ribbon, I got too much antistatic powder which didn't want to be removed. So, I looked for a paler ribbon and found pink, then thought, pink and gold are a lovely match. That's how this card came into being.
I stamped the ribbon and embossed in gold, then stamped the card, so that the complete stamp was visible when the ribbon was placed onto the card. I stamped other images and a sentiment, all from the same set on a piece of white die cut card.
Next I found an embossing folder that fitted the stamped layer, after embossing I rubbed over the same ink I had coloured the flowers on the card. The embossed layer was attached onto a piece of card, then inked around it in the same ink. They were all layered.
The ribbon was attached to the top layer, matching the stamped image. I felt it needed something else to balance it, so I cut more ribbon and folded and glued it onto the side edges. The top layer was 3D'd onto the embossed layer. A die cut butterfly was added, coloured in the same colour.

Wow, I've never attempted stamping on ribbon... but your card is gorgeous and looks like you are a pro! Great job, the pink and gold look stunning together!
Beautiful card Faith!! I love pink and gold together and your images are so lovely. I embossed on ribbon only once, many years ago. It's such a cool effect, but not easy to do. You image turned out perfectly this time. :) xx

I would never have thought of stamping on ribbon. Well done for persevering and making it work. I love the end result and you are right about pink and gold. They really do look good together. Sorry I have missed a few of your posts. I am now getting straight after being away and having a birthday xx

Wow! How beautiful and creative! Perfect stamping on the ribbon, so pretty! Lovely background and pretty butterfly, too!
Lovely and feminine card;-))m
Oh this is gorgeous Faith. I admire your perserverance..well done. The ribbon looks fabulous. x
This is such a beauty, Faith! I would never have thought of embossing ribbon - it must have been tricky but you have a wonderful result. On initial glance I thought it was a sheer ribbon placed over the stamping - such a clever technique.
Hope you are well,
Hugs
