Creating a Pinstripe Background with Christine

Christine blogging with you today!  Here's one fun technique you can give a whirl: create a background with your ribbon.  For my card today I created a background using the velvet ribbon and then added a chipboard heart cut-out above it making use of the negative space

I first ran my glue runner over the square cardstock and then started creating rows of the ribbon.  I love how it looks like pinstripes because of the pewter color!  I added the chipboard heart frame atop it and voila....a different look with lots of dimension and texture!  Have a great weekend and I hope you can find a way to play with ribbon!

Supplies Used:

Nylavalour Velvet Ribbon - Pewter.

Patterned Paper: Pink Paislee and American Crafts

Chipboard: Crate Paper

Sticker: SRM Stickers
