Hello! Welcome to the Really Reasonable Ribbon August Blog Hop. If you are following the hop, you should be coming from my sweet friend, Emily's Blog. If not, please pop on over to the Really Reasonable Ribbon blog to get started!!
The ribbon assortment for August is just wonderful! The color combo will quickly become your favorite because I know I sure do love it! If you aren't a member of the RRR Monthly ribbon club yet, you should definitely check it out!
Here is my project for today's hop!
I needed an anniversary card and thought these colors were just perfect! I used the new EL-019 Ornamental Iron M-Bossabilities™ and Silver Mirri cardstock. I just love how the mirror cardstock looks when embossed with the M-Bossabilities™ folder, don't you? Here are a few close-ups.
I used some amethyst cardstock and S5-086 Bitty Blossoms die templates to make the flowers. The leaves and the base of the card are made from gray cardstock. The ribbon is the Diamond Satin Shell Grey 5/8" ribbon from the August Ribbon Club assortment.
I hope you have enjoyed my project for today's hop. Now it's time to hop on over to my friend, Jeanne's blog to see her awesome project!! Have fun hopping and have a great day!
