Ribbon? I love ribbon. I have loads of ribbon, but don't use it real often as I can't make a bow if my life depended on it. Not a bow acceptable to ME anyway. So here is my card for the Ways to Use it Challenge 275. To use ribbon.
My idea of using wrapping paper came from a card my sister, lacyquilter made a few days ago here
I came across some old wrapping paper in my drawer this morning when I was looking for ideas and remembered her card, so here is my version.
I glued the wrapping paper on the gold CS, sanded it a bit, distressed it a bit with ink and ran it through my Cuttlebug.
Then I punched out the little "ribbon holder", colored it with a marker and pulled my ribbon through it. I needed something, so I added the butterfly which is PSX stamped on Basic Grey, gold embossed and cut out. I will definitely do this again, without so many boo boos. I do like it. tfl

This is a beautiful vintage look card! I love the ribbon 'buckle'. I think that adding ribbon this way is even prettier than a bow most of the time. Beautiful job!!
