Hi everyone! Welcome to this week's Ribbon Inspiration Stamp Simply Style. This week we are making Valentines! Yep, time to move on from Christmas and venture into Valentines!
I went kinda cutsie with my card. I used the JustRite cling set, Adorable Dragon. He is just so fun and cute! I colored him to match the Bo Bunny paper, Smoochable pad. Love the fun bright colors in this pad! This card is pretty simple in design, but I did indulge and add 3 pieces of 1/8" velvet ribbon across the bottom. How could I not, it comes in all 3 colors on the card? lol!

OK, try not to look too closely at my copic coloring (really not my strong point), but I did take my blender pen and add the little dots on him. I copied the idea from the picture on the stamp set. That's what I like about JR, they show their images colored in on the packaging!
Here is another card I made using the same sentiment, pattern paper and velvet ribbons. This card uses the Fall To Layout sketch #172. Love these sketches for quick and easy cards!
Each week we will have fabulous Blog Candy (this week's is pictured
below) inspired by out theme. The winner will be drawn
