I have some extra time today - my husband and son left early for a 50 mile bike ride. They are meeting up with a group of scouts and will be gone for a few hours, that gives me time to be creative. I've had this stamp from Stampabilities called Travel Collage for a while. I think it's a really great masculine stamp and I thought it would be a good fit for one of my OWH cards.
I just recently started using the seam binding from Hug Snug for my bows. You can get it at Fabric.com (Amazon has it a little cheaper but no free shipping). It runs about $10 for 100 yards - that's really affordable at 10 cents a yard. It is made out of Rayon so it has a really nice shine and is easy to work with. It looks great smooth or crinkled. I haven't tried this but I heard that the white is easy to die to your perfect shade by mixing your favorite ink with a little water and spritzing the ribbon. It comes in so many beautiful colors - you are bound to see a shade you will love!

Gorgeous! Travel themes are one of my all time favorites. Great source for the ribbon too. That really is a great price for such a a nice ribbon.
Your card is gorgeous! Thank you for the seam binding tip, I will look for some on my next craft store trip!
Wonderful card and your bow is amazing! I love ribbon and bows, but getting my bows to tie nicely is quite a challenge and no matter how I try to tie them...they never look that good!!

Gorgeous card, Jeanne! I love the vintage style of that stamp. Thanks for the tip about the ribbon, I love that stuff! Thanks for joining us in this week's OWH Stars & Stamps Sketch Challenge!
Thanks for the note about how you make such fabulous bows. They sell very similar little dowel bow-makers at my LSS that were handmade by a local crafter. I have not bought one yet, but now I'm tempted! I did try it there one day, but could NOT figure it out!! DUH!!
Thanks for Becca's site link too! :)
