I created this card for the technique challenge to use ribbon some other way than a bow or a knot. I applied adhesive to the back of the ribbon and scrunched it, applying it to a small strip of cardstock before adhering to the card front. The sentiment is stamped with black pigment ink and clear embossed. I added the buttons, which were white but I airbrushed them with a copic marker and added them to the edge of the ribbon. I also backed the card with black, letting it show only on the left border.
I hope you like it.

Love this card. Thanks for the how-to. Knowing about the lining layer under the ribbon will make this technique easier to try. And might I say you're looking quite svelte!

I like this idea of scrunching the ribbon. It gives it a nice touch.
