You can check out my tutorial on how to make this bow or other bows over on the Bowdabra Blog webpage - HERE.
The layout is from one of Colleen Schaan's cards featured in the Copic Coloring Guide, Level 2: Nature book that you can purchase from Annie's Attic. The card is called "Miss You" and is used with permission of the artist. Thanks Colleen for your inspiration.
Materials Used:
- Image - Lili of the Valley - Dad's the Word
- Cardstock - Papertrey Ink - Smokey Shadow; Xpress It Blending Card; Stampin Up Whisper White
- Designer Paper - Echo Park - Times & Seasons. I cut the "No 1" from a sheet of this paper and adhered it to the SU Whisper White which was punched out with a 1 1/4" round punch and mounted on a 1 1/2" PTI Smokey Shadow circle.
- Ribbon - from my stash
- I used my sewing machine to sew around the edges of the DP layers and used my paper piercer to make the holes around the edge of the image.
