Ribbon inspiration

Happy Saturday.....this morning i am showing you a creation i made  using these lovely ribbons from CRAFTY RIBBONS.  and the image is from The Paper Shelter....
These ribbons are available in different  widths  and you can find them here

I have used two lots of die cuts from spellbinder on my card, the corner and boarders,  You know when you start a card thinking it would work and then you need to rethink half way through well, this is one of those cards, think there is a little bit to much going on but had to go with it...lol.

These little bows were made with a fork.. saw it that morning on the craft channel on tv so had a quick go ...worked fine.

thanks for your visits....have a lovely weekend....going out for lunch with my hubby today as its our wedding Anniversary...28 years....and counting..take care
