Hey ladies! Thanks for all of the compliments! That bow is magic that another lady on this group came up with. The instructions came out on the SCS Weekly Inkling and it was in a link on the sidebar. Ummm, I'm "add a link" challenged so I've copied and will paste the directions here. I hope that's o.k. to do.
The bow is threaded through holes made with a double slot punch. Have you done the one where you insert the ribbon from the top and then thread the ends of the ribbon back through? Well, to create this look, instead of inserting the ends back through, you push the center of the tail back through and pull up as much as you want to make the loops on each side. I use about 8 inches of ribbon and I push it through with the blade of my scissors. Then you finish off by pushing the ends up through the holes and adjusting them to the position you want before trimming them off. This is a pretty tight fit through the holes. I hope this is somewhat clear. It does better with organdy but as you can see on my card, it can be done with grograin as well.
One day I might take the time to write a tutorial with pictures but don't have time today.
