Beaded Ribbon

Hello fellow bloggers.

Today I return with my card for the mid-challenge reminder over at  

Christmas Craft Creations where I was thrilled to be invited to join 

the very talented design team as Guest Designer for January. 

The theme this month is Ribbon or Twine.

 

I have had this technique idea somewhere in the back of my mind for several

years, and the theme of ribbon or twine was the perfect opportunity to work

out how to achieve it. 

I am definitely not adept with a needle and thread, so perhaps I was a tad  

ambitious. It took me ages to 'fluff' and sew the ribbon to the die-cut, adding 

each pearl bead with the stitching. Eventually though, I was finished, and

considering my struggle, including some stabbed fingers (and some

 naughty words😮), I was fairly happy with the end result.

Back within my comfort zone, I really enjoyed colouring this

sweet image with my Promarkers.

The greeting is recycled from a store-bought card, and I

shaped the ends of the tag with a very old corner punch.
