As I was blurfing the other day I came across a post from PaperTreyInk about coloring ribbon with Copic markers. Well, this fascinated me and I had to watch. Talk about a step up from just changing the overall ribbon color!
Isn't this just cool! After I choose the colors for my card I found coordinating marker colors and, using my clear ruler and white grosgrain ribbon, I added the stripes. I white embossed the leaf image.
I used stamp sets Happily Grateful and Age Is A Number. I punched a 1" circle from DCWV cardstock and sanded the edge to show the white, then punched the dragonfly. I used my white gel pen (I don't have the link at the moment) and the Stardust Clear gel pen to add some dots and lines then adhered a crystal.
I love how this card turned out! I did have some problems keeping my ruler from slipping a bit but with practice...

OMG - this is awesome - can you guess what I am going to try today??? I love the whole card - very pretty - I have to make a sympathy card today and this would be perfect.
What a great idea. I'm sure I'll be trying this soon.
Great card. I made one too (gotta love Nichole Heady lol). My first ribbon didn't work out so well. Your darling little 'bug' is perfect with that addition of bling.
Wonderful job! I like the colors you used for your ribbon coloring. Isn't it fun how something so simple can turn out so awesome? TFS!
I really like this card. Clean and simple. Love the colors too!
