A CAS-ual Playdate with ribbon...




I thought I'd browse for some inspiration between waiting for coats of paint to dry, and I stumbled upon this gorgeous card by Mary for CAS-ual Fridays Tie One On Ribbon Challenge.  Inspired I created this bow using some super-wide L'il Davies black & white striped ribbon and some hot pink polka-dot ribbon from my stash - to create that splash of hot pink for The Play Date Cafe.  Created a loop of black and white ribbon and secured using red tape (super strong tape), then created and secured a second loop from the hot pink ribbon tightly around the black & white stripes.  Tempted to dry emboss the cardstock with polka-dots, but decided I preferred it plain.  Pop-dotted the black cardstock for added dimension.  The sentiment stamp is a miscellaneous one from my collection.

Many thanks for stopping by - now it's time to check if that paint is dry :)
