So I made this card, feeling very "white on white" while doing so, got it all finished and photographed, and ready to send off before I realized....I didn't incorporate the twist! Ack! It was all polished and pretty, with absolutely nothing distressed about it. So I went back in and frayed the edges of my ribbon, which I really wound up liking because it added another layer of texture to this extremely monochromatic card. Don't the words "texture" and "monochromatic" sound all artsy? Lol. Then I got to re-photograph and re-edit the whole thing. Good times.
Anyway, my point is that these twists are pretty easy to incorporate in a card you may already be making, it's just another way to think "outside the box" and change things up a bit.
Cardstock is CTMH (White Daisy). Yep, all of it. I ran that bottom layer through my Big Shot with a Cuttlebug embossing folder (Provo Craft, yes I'm too lazy to look up the name of the folder. But I will if you really want me to). Butterflies are a Martha Stewart punch. Bling is Mark Richards. Stamp is Papertrey (Wedding Day), ink is CTMH (Black). Ribbon is Hug Snug seam binding.
3 Go ahead, lay it all out there...:
this is absolutely gorgeous! and I really like the added fraying you ended up doing to the ribbon!
I think it works a treat :) Love it xXx
this is stunning. white on white is such a beautiful effect, but i struggle to pull it off everytime!
