Which SU ribbon matches sage shadow the best? I am doing a swap and I can't really tell from the catalog. I would prefer the grosgrain but will take teh 3/8 organdy!!!! Thanks for any help!!! :?

I'm not sure about the grosgrain,
but if you are in a bind, I have used the white organdy and then sponged the color of ink onto it so it matches perfectly.

I know this isn't the answer your looking for, but I hope it helps

Yeah, it say on one of those tiny "try it" notes in the catalog that you can brayer any color of ink onto white ribbon to get any shade.

That's sounds like my best bet for a good match!!! Thank You so much!! I also need a match fro creamy caramel!!! I really like the new gingham ribbon. Do you think I could get some pink and brayer over it with creamy caramel and it would fade out the pink enough for a match?

I just looked at SU chart and there is no ribbon to match Sage Shadow. I would go with the white and coloring it.

I just tried braying Creamy Caramel onto pink gingham. Once you get enough ink on to mask the pink, it covers up the gingham as well. If, however, you do a card where a little pink would look nice, the ribbon looks great with just a little CC ink on it, it gives it an antique look.

I recently had a workshop for scrappers and used Sage Shadow and Almost Amethyst for an Easter layout. I did exactly what was suggested earlier - coloring the white grosgrain. I ran my ribbon directly over my ink pad while holding it down with a scrap piece of paper. Ran both sides through and let the guests try it as well. Worked out great!
