This fortnight's challenge theme is to showcase a project using
Your Favourite Ribbon or Twine (& why).
You MUST explain WHY it is your favourite.
Here are the beautiful creations made by our Design Team to get your mojo flowing:
Ribbon is one of my favourite embellishments, and I have boxes of it in dozens of colours and shades. My favourite is satin, but today I've used a gingham one which tones better with my card colours. I love the 3D effect on a card which makes it look more handcrafted when it's gifted.
I tend to use twine more that ribbon. I like that it is easy to tie into a cute bow and it fits a little easier in an envelope for posting.
I don't use ribbon or twine very often. I do like a little bit of ribbon when grouping a few flowers together. I think it is useful to add a small tag to complete the card.
I can't pick, because I really love the combination of ribbon with a little bow made out of twine. I love adding it on tags or on little treat boxes, like I made today.
I use twine a lot more than ribbon. I can make smaller bows with it and it's not so bulky as ribbon.
Ever mindful of the cost of postage these days, I am more likely to add twine to my cards. It adds just a little touch of texture and dimension without the bulk.
My favorite is twine. I do have enough ribbon but seldom use it, because my bow doesn't look right and neat or am I too picky? With twine my bows looks like I like it.
It's over to you.
We hope you will join in our challenge and show us your style.
Don't forget, you MUST explain WHY it is your favourite to be eligible to win.
Good luck, and happy crafting.
Hugs from the AYLI girls.
Thanks so much for my top 3 pick, always a buzz. CarolG
