Me again. If my husband and the kids stay out for a while then I may be popping in here a few times during today! Hope that’s OK and you don’t feel bombarded by posts from me.

Next on the stamp-a-faire schedule – ribbon techniques. I chose to work with Erin’s ribbons behind a negative die cut. I guess if you know me this isn’t a surprise as I love using the negatives from dies. I layered red and green twill behind the negative from an apple die cut and matched it with Teachers Apple stamps set.

Here’s a close up to see that layered ribbon.

I added the button to hide the transition from red to green – straight lines don’t suit and apple! The ribbon adds a lovely texture and makes a great change from simple card stock.

Supplies: Stamps – Papertrey Ink teachers apple; Ink – Versafine onyx black; Ribbon – Papertrey Ink pure poppy, ripe avocado; Button – Papertrey Ink simply chartreuse; Twine – The Twinery maraschino
