Fav stamps/add lace or ribbon WLSC

 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  

Fav stamps/add lace or ribbon

   

 

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.
