Ribbon Inspiration: Stamp Simply Style – Easter Blessings!
I used 1/2″ Wrinkle Ribbon for the bow. I wound several loops on the Bow Easy tool for a fuller effect. A few leaves and baby’s breath were tucked in at the bow’s center.
I love incorporating feathers into my designs, this particular feather caught my fancy. I used it liberally on this card.
You can find more Easter Blessings inspiration on the following designers’ blogs:
