Tonight's PaperTrey Ink Challenge was a sketch challenge--definitely closer to my comfort zone than mixing four colors was! Be sure to check out Nichole's post for a fabulous prize that will be awarded to one person who creates a piece based on the sketch and links to her post. (We're talking ribbon HEAVEN here.)
Since my work area is still in transition, I had no idea where to find my silk flowers--hence the need for a hand-made ribbon-flower. To create the simple grosgrain ribbon flower that I used here, you can follow the instructions pictured below.
Ribbon is PaperTrey Ink's Fresh Snow Grosgrain, and patterned papers are from PTI's Black and White Basics Collection. Stamp sets are Melissa Bickford's Heartfelt Basics and the Becky Oehlers inspired First Fruits. I used a Spellbinders Long Rectangle Nestability to cut and emboss the sentiment as well as to draw a black line around it. That's about it--simple, elegant black and white.
Have a lovely day!
