CCC #73... seasons greetings
Hello friends!!! Tuesday has rolled back around and that means time for a brand new CASology challenge! Lots of fun projects in the gallery for last week's cue word "shop". I just know this week's cue word will spark just as many wonderful projects. Say hello to this week's cue word: ribbon. We have another wonderful sponsor this week (all the details can be found here) and joining us as guest designer is the very talented Donna!
So... when I saw this week's cue word I was pretty excited because I LOVE RIBBON! I haven't used a lot of it lately, but that could change at any moment, lol!! Over the years I have determined exactly what types of ribbon I love the most and sadly skinny ribbon is not on that list. Skinny ribbon does not make yummy full bows and I love nicely tied bows. I have been known to spend upwards of 15 minutes or more to get my bow just right! So I really wanted to use some nice wide ribbon that I could tie in a big yummy bow, but realizing that this is a CAS challenge I knew that idea might not work. So I went with using a just a small piece of ribbon for my card. My color combo is based on this week's Dynamic Duo of dark blue and your choice. I decided to go with yellow for my second color. I covered the front of my card base with a piece of designer paper from Stampin Up! that has a subtle pattern on it. The ornament (from the Hero Arts set Ornaments) was stamped using Midnight Muse ink and then die cut with the corresponding die. A piece of yellow and cream striped ribbon (from SU!) was cut, tied in a knot and then the ends fishtailed. That was adhered to the top of the ornament. A snowflake from another Hero Arts set (Decorate Your Holiday) was stamped in yellow, trimmed out, popped up on the ornament and a yellow sequin added to the center. The ornament was adhered to a cardstock piece that I stamped with the sentiment using Midnight Muse ink and then that piece was adhered to the card base. See... you can use wide ribbon on a CAS card, lol!

You already won me over with that gorgeous Paisley-pattern DP, but your crazy-happy yellow ribbon did the rest. LOVE the big, wide, in-your-face bow, and the choice of yellow is such a great complement to the Midnight Muse. Thanks for playing with the Dynamic Duos this week!

I have to agree with you on the skinny ribbon thing. Sadly, I have plenty of it just sitting in my stash from my early stamping days!
