I just love the effect of crinkled seam binding....so here is my card for today! MY DIL Jenna Barber is the queen of crinkled ribbon!! The rest of us rough it up a little, but Jenna taught me a few more steps to make sure it STAYS crinkled!! ;) She taught me to perfect this crinkled, wrinkled, very vintage look. I just LOVE it! Happy Thursday everyone!!
OKAY, the ribbon.......you take it and just ball it all around in the palm of your hands....until it's all smashed.....then I take it and (Jenna's tip)kind of fold it into an accordian.....and sometimes before I start the whole process I mist it with water. That's it - it's a pain, but it sure looks good! ;)
