Lovin’ the New Look…
…of JustRite. Clean and simple, fresh and fun. IF you want it to be — and today, I did! This doesn’t get much more clean and simple, and it fit my mood perfectly today!
After making Tanya’s card the other day with this same image, I had a few of these stamped and laying around my kitchen, so I colored this up quickly today while making dinner. I do find if I leave stamped images and my Copics in the kitchen, that I color much more frequently than if they are all in my stamp room — so in the kitchen they now reside — whatever works!
Paper is SU Textured Almost Amethyst. My image was colored, then cut out and mounted onto the circle with SU Dimensionals. And don’t ask me WHY I had to cut it out — just remember, I WAS making dinner at the same time — LOL!!! Take it from there!!! See the little white flower centers? Such a little thing, but adding them makes SUCH a difference. They were done with a Signo White Gel Pen. LOVE this image from the Friendship Set by JustRite.
My favorite bow treatment of recent, using Celery Silk Ribbon and the Bow Easy. You can read this post to see how I do this. The bow is glued on with Aleene’s Fast Grab Tacky Glue — REALLY lovin’ that stuff — it holds tight, the nozzle doesn’t plug, and it’s at Wal-Mart for very little money. You can see some glue on my bow. It will dry clear, I was just too impatient to wait.

Your card is beautiful and your bows are to die for. You make it look so easy, but it really isn’t! You just have the knack.
A very sweet all occasion card Sharon, it’s adorable!
This is such a pretty card Sharon. I always drool all over your cards. They are always awesome. I have so much ribbon but every time I see your cards, I think I’m just going to have to order some of yours. Your ribbons (bows) are always so gorgeous.
Just beautiful Sharon! LOVE that big celery bow! Great image and coloring! Great idea to keep the copics in the kitchen since we seem to live in the kitchen!!!
Classy!
love the card, the colors and the bow. Is the bow doubled or is that the actual size of the ribbon? I can’t tell from the photo. Since the bow is glued on do you tie something around the ribbon running down the card to bring it in there where you placed your bow? I know a lot of questions for a Sunday morning. I just really want to be able to make cards as pretty as yours.
Only requires a one word comment … BEAUTIFUL!!!
Hope you’re having a wonderful weekend!
Thanks for the email with the hint on where to find the instructions. Very helpful.
Adorable card Sharon!!! I’m so glad to have stopped by to find the wonderful news about the ribbon - yeay! I’ve been wanting to place an order for a while now and this is just perfect timing. I’ll be sending you an email shortly.
Hope you’re having an amazing weekend!
I truly do love the simplicity of this card and how it is also elegant in it’s simplicity.
I need more May art ribbon!
