Learn how to customize Basic Beige Ribbon with Stampin' Blends and the Christmas Labels Bundle

 

I always love to let projects evolve as I make them.  When I got to the end of this card I REALLY wanted a ribbon that was vintage-ey and customized to match this pretty card. I started the card with the Christmas Labels bundle, the Sentimental Christmas Designer Paper and circle die using the Spotlight on Nature Dies.  I was planning to add a Basic Beige bow, which would have been fine, but I had this idea to color the edge with Poppy Parade Stampin' Blends. I was skeptical that it would work, but I tried it anyway. Isn't it stunning? If there is one thing that I've learned with many years of crafting, it's that you have to try something even if you don't think it will work because- what if it turns out this beautiful?  

Here are some other ribbons that I colored with blends.
