"Really Reasonable Ribbon" blog hop and some candy!!!

This candy is now closed.


Hello again!
Welcome to the "Really Reasonable Ribbon" blog hop!

If you are looking for the "Prairie Fairy" and "The Paper Temptress" blog hop, scroll down to the next post.
(but come back here when you are done!)
.
This is the second hop of the day that I am involved in. Boy have I been a busy girl!  :)
If you came here from Kerri's beautiful  blog, you are in the right place!
If you just stumbled in, head on over to Bonnie's "Really Reasonable Ribbon Ramblings" blog to read the rules and start at the beginning. She is giving away an awesome assortment of ribbons that you won't want to miss a chance at!
This hop is to celebrate "National Scrapbook Day" and to announce their new design team! 
Guess what......I am one of the lucky girls to have been chosen to be on it!!!! Wooohooo!
When I say lucky, I mean lucky! Just look at my May DT kit! There are about 60 yards of beautiful ribbons, buttons and my brand new favorite crafting tool, the Bow-Easy. I feel spoiled rotten but can't wait to see what Bonnie sends me next month! tehehehe!

Have you ever seen prettier organza? I think not! LOL!

I had such trouble trying to figure out which of my beautiful new ribbons to use for this hop! So....I used several! 
Remember, you can click on any picture to enlarge for a better view.
 
The bows were all tied with the Bow-easy so they are all exactly the same size.
The ribbons I used are:

Sheer Iridescent Parrot GreenSheer Iridescent Peach, and Sheer Iridescent Light Blue

The stamp is by Penny Black and is called "Garden Poems"
I kept the card mostly white to focus on the flowers and that pretty pretty ribbon. Just added a touch of color with some crazy stitching and a little sponging on the sentiment. I embossed the background cardstock with my Cuttlebug and folder, added a sparky rhinestone to the bow and a couple of glitter brads on the sentiment. I think these would be considered CAS (Clean and Simple) cards.


I am entering this card in the following challenges:
Stamptacular Sunday ~ "Sew Special"
Cupcake Craft ~ "Don't be Square"
Paper Play ~ "Pretty Pastels

I am also giving away some comment candy for one lucky person who comments on either blog hop that I have going on. It is a big set of pretty glitters, a couple of jars of shaped glitters and lots and lot of ribbons.

To win, you must be, or become a follower and comment on one or both blog hops. Both gets you 2 chances. Want a third chance? Put a picture of my candy on your sidebar with a link back to my blog then come back here and let me know you have done it. ;)

Thanks so much for hopping by and playing along with us!

Now head on over to your next stop @ Cheryl's blog to see her Sweet Designs! 

Hugs,
True :D

    The organza you received is great, can't wait to see what you will all make with it! I was looking on your blog for the winner of the CardMaker candy and now I see you are again giving away something, you are just too kind, True! Wow, how fabulously glittery!! Love it, I am still using way too less glitters on my cards, so I hope to make a chance to join in the glittery life! ;-)
