Ribbon Inspiration/Stamp Simply Style-Wrinkled and Crushed

It's Ribbon Inspiration/Stamp Simply Style, and today we're featuring both Wrinkled and Crushed ribbons from The Stamp Simply Ribbon Store.

Today was a very busy and exciting day for me, so I went with some of my tried and true elements for this design:


...Monochromatic, Copic coloring, and typical "Deb" layout.

Today's decorator papers are Webster's Pages "Spring Market/Yacht Club/Country Estate."


I colored up LaBlanche's "Two Rabbits" silicone stamp, then framed it out with Spellbinder's "Postage Stamp" and "Classic Square" dies.

A May Art's Crushed Silk bow...tied with a Bow Easy... then accented with a wooden Bo Bunny "Welcome Home" button, adds the finishing touch.

Supplies for today's design are available at The Stamp Simply Ribbon Store.


This is a Mystery Blog Candy, meaning the winner will be drawn from comments on one of today’s participating blogs, so leaving a comment on each blog will greatly increase your chances of winning, but only one comment per blog, please. The winner will be selected at 6 p.m. Eastern time on Tuesday, October 25 and will be posted on Sharon's blog on Tuesday night or Wednesday, so please check back to claim your prize if you are the lucky winner!

Just a note: We will be continuing with day 6 of The 12 Days of a Clean and Simply Christmas-Stamp Simply Style on Monday! Please join us then!




Like I said, it was an exciting day! We had a special visitor arrive in  Dushanbe, and I must say that it was an honor to meet the Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. It was a quick trip for Secretary Clinton, and I'm certain she is already on her way to another destination.
