Mom gifted me this gorgeous wired ribbon, and since it looks like little Xs, I paired it with a circle stamp from CAS-ual Stamps (which I recently won from the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge!) to make a "Hugs & Kisses" card.
To make the circles, I inked a white coated cardboard from some packaging with red ink, sprayed it & heated to for a watercolor effect, and coated it with clear embossing powder to set the ink. The circles are cut out with the "Fun Filled Rings" die from Spellbinders Celebra’tions collection. I couldn't find my "xoxo" stamp, so I did it myself with letter stamps. The white panel is popped with foam tape off of the embossed background.

Thank you for visiting & inspiring my crafting!
The ribbon 'kisses' look great and the treatment on the circles adds lots of texture too! Really creative. Thanks for sharing with us at Less Is More :)
ReplyDeleteOh, this is so clever! I love the theme, the colour and the layout. Fabulous!
ReplyDeleteThe inking on the circles complements that awesome wired ribbon perfectly. Your hand stamping with letter stamps is great.
