Technique Tuesday - Ribbon Techniques Blog Hop

Tuesday, 7 March 2023

It's time for another Technique Tuesday Blog Hop. This month the theme is Ribbon Techniques. I love adding ribbon to my projects and I love being able to colour my ribbon using Stampin' Blends to perfectly coordinate with my project.

Today's card features the Stampin' Up! Around the Bend Bundle. I had fun making this card and love how it turned out. It's so pretty! I used the Dry Brushed Metallic Specialty Paper along with Copper Foil. I love, love, love how it turned out!
