Our Create, Ink! group meeting was last Friday. We were swapping Fall and Halloween cards this time. At our last get together we were talking about using sketches to help make card design easy so this time we choose an optional sketch to use for the swap card. I selected a sketch from Splitcoast Stampers for the challenge: the PPA38 sketch.
I decided that I wanted to play with the Wicked Cool stamp set for my card and came up with this.
Pleated ribbons are everywhere and I felt inspired to add some to this card, but it's halloween and I felt like the nice even pleats were too formal for the card so I changed it up a bit and did what I'm calling ribbon smooshing – I kinda just smooshed the ribbon into uneven crooked pleats and I LOVE the way it came out.
The ribbon adds some nice texture and diminsion to the card and it was so easy to do. All I did was run a piece of Sticky strip down the back of the ribbon and then work your way across the card stock folding and sticking ribbon down. Then tuck the ends around the edge fo the card to finish it off.
I'll be posting the other swap cards from my team members over the next couple of days – so be sure to check back often!
