Hello Summer !

Hello and welcome to my blog. I hope you are all having a great summer so far, we just got back from camping and the weather was perfect !!
Today I am sharing a layout I created as a finalist for the May Arts Ribbon design team call. I'd love to be one of the new  Prima Ribbonista ! Fingers crossed :)


Hello Summer !

Supplies for this layout are from Fancy Pants Designs (Making Waves collection), May Arts Ribbon, Spellbinders and My Mind's Eye.

Here's a look at how I created this Summer themed layout.


Step 1- Create an anchor with wire and pliers.

 

Step 2- Wrap navy paper cord from May Arts Ribbon adding bits of glue to hold into place.


Step 3- Attach a small piece of white paper cord on the loop of the anchor.

 

Step 4- I love adding texture to background paper and for this project I decided to add spirals of paper cord in light blue, navy and white. I love how malleable this cord is.


Step 5- Machine stitch into place, if desired.


Step 6- Trim 3 various pieces of ribbon 2 inches long, adhere behind narrow strip of navy paper. 
For this project, I used 3/4" Twill/Chevron in yellow and light blue and 7/8" Grosgrain horizontal stripes ribbon in orange.


Step 7- Fold ribbons over and trim off into points to create flags. Machine stitch the small flags into place.


Step 8- Adhere/machine stitch a 12" piece of yellow chevron ribbon on the left side of layout ,adding a strip of striped paper and a star cardstock die piece on each side.


Here's a close up of that hand crafted anchor :)


and a close up of the small flags.




 I hope you've enjoyed today's tutorial.
As always, thanks for visiting.....wish me luck !
