Day 183 card for 365 and, as promised, a FREEBIE for YOU!

 

Today’s challenge # 183 at 365…

Imagine this: WRINKLED!   “I want you to use the word "wrinkled" to inspire your card.” 

So, here is my take on a wrinkle-ish card. 

 

My ‘wrinkle’ is in the ribbon!

 

This rose and shrinkly wrinkly ribbon is a technique i stumbled upon while carding.  Ok, I was waving around with my heat embossing gun and managed to fry some nylon sheer ribbon and I thought, “well THAT’S interesting!” and so I decided to make it work for me.  I intentionally ran the embossing gun over the ribbon (anchor both ends – one you can hold but with the other tuck the roll under something, like your knee or a weight)  Wave the embossing gun to and fro sideways over your ribbon.  How close you hold the gun and how much you wave will influence your wrinkliness. 

*note – I used TWO layers of sheer for the ribbons, it was not bold enough with just one.

For the rose I used a needle and thread, wound the ribbon around in a loose blossom shape, then gave a little blast with the embossing tool.  Add a gem and its gorgeous.  I cut two tiny leaves out of a green sheer and blasted that for good measure too.  It gave the leaves some dimension. 

For the card itself, I cut the ‘O’s’ ribbon out using my silhouette SD. The tiny “with love” stamp is a Fiskars.
