I've been getting a lot of emails asking how to do the embossed ribbon and the flower so here are a few more details (scroll down to the next post to see the whole card) The zig zag card stock behind the ribbon is done by punching both sides of a 1" card stock strip with the Pinking Hearts Border Punch.
To emboss the ribbon cut a scrap of cardstock the same width as the ribbon you want to emboss. I like matching the card stock to the ribbon in case I'm off a little. Cover the card stock with some big shot adhesive, stick the ribbon to the card stock then emboss it with an embossing folder.
I didn't include this flower in my Build a Blossom class. There are just soooo many things you can do with that punch and I couldn't include them all. This flower is super easy to make. Punch 9 of the short wide petals in Marina Mist card stock and 2 from Old Olive. I sponged the edges and curled them with my bone folder. It's easier to work on a circle so punch a 1" circle and glue 6 petals onto it (tips almost touching) to form the bottom layer. Glue on the 3 remaining petals to make the top row. Put a drop of Crystal Effects onto each petal and spread it out with a q-tip to make them shine. Put a drop of Crystal Effects in the centre and glue your plastic flower in place. Draw some lines on your leaves with a marker and tuck them in behind your flower. Now you're ready to attach it to your card.
ummm i guess its good It looks like you took pictures of the comuetpr screen with the camera That doesent always look good not to be mean good advice: stay AWAY from some have shades and shapes that are impossible to dress up . and maybe look closer at other dress ups! it WILL help!maybe check out my vids!!!

Hi love the ribbon embossing. Wondering what you use when you refer to "Big Shot" glue? Thanks for the inspiration!
