Today's cards are a variation on the ones I've been showing for the last couple of days. These have been double-matted onto a piece of torn cardstock with a length of grosgrain 1/4" Whisper White ribbon stitched across before the panel is stitched to the card base. The flat bow is made by taking a small length of ribbon, placing a glue dot at the centre & then bringing both ends into the middle. The bow is attached over the ribbon strip with a glue dot & a button attached centrally with ... another glue dot! Super-easy but looks great I think. The rhinestone brads would look good atop a flat bow too methinks!
The hedgehog card is pretty quick & easy (or fast & fun! LOL) too. The image is coloured with markers direct on to the stamp & matted right of centre before stitching to a torn cardstock base. The base strip is then stitched in place (I use a li'l bit of tape behind it ... just in the middle to hold it still) & the buttons stuck on with glue dots (or you could stitch them on if you like).
Last but not least, these two cards are again coloured directly onto the stamp, matted & affixed centre top of the card base. I made a faux bow by tying a loose knot in a short length of ribbon & then threading a longer piece through the back of the knot before pulling it tighter to secure. the whole piece can then be attached to your card with double sided tape & trimmed at the ends. 'Tis Done!!Don't forget to follow Mad Mumma's blog to get the latest updates as soon as they are posted & to be in with a chance of winning a li'l selection of cards handmade my yours truly at the end of the month (wow! this year has just flown by!!)
