Ribbon Inspiration/Stamp Simply Style--Sheer

Welcome to Ribbon Inspiration/Stamp Simply Style--Sheer! Our focus is on translucent, beautiful, May Art's Sheer Ribbon today.

I needed a masculine birthday card, and I wondered, "Can I use sheer ribbon on a MAN CARD?" Well, I found out that "YES I CAN!"

Since this is a winter birthday card, I felt that Bo Bunny's "Snowfall Collection" would be perfect with the blue/brown colorway and fabulous patterns. There's also a Bo Bunny "Clear Snowfall Collection" stamp set available HERE.

I used Spellbinder's Nested Pennants and Nested Scalloped Pennant dies to cut the little flags for my design. JustRite's "Happy Everything Tag Making Kit" provided the sentiment, stamped with Versafine Sepia ink.

Can you can see the sheer ribbon? I didn't use a lot of it, just enough to be layered behind some of the flags...and, you can still see the pattern through the ribbon accent. A trio of brown brads adds a little extra to finish the design.

All of the linked supplies are from The Stamp Simply Ribbon Store.
