OWH Skech Challenge 84 - August 27, 2011 Travel Collage

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!

    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!!

    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! :)
