Calling All Sistah's Hop



Hello! Time to check yourself and check out some fun cards on the monthly CAS-ual Fridays Calling All Sistahs blog hop. This card features an actual pink ribbon, from my prized stash of vintage seam binding ribbon. I love this stuff immensely. It mysteriously holds it's shape and never creases, bends or goes flat, so it's perfect to be folded like this on a card. When it's taken out of the envelope it will pop right back in place.

I sewed the panel onto the card, with an additional layer of pink polka dots sandwiched in between.
   

I love that the ribbon has a "shadow" ... the ribbon stamp from Word Ribbon is embossed in silver directly underneath the actual ribbon. You don't notice it right away, but catch some bits of silver on the edges. 

 
You may notice some sparkly goodness in the middle of the ribbon ... those are from the new Calling All Sistahs sequin mix by Pretty Pink Posh. They are limited edition; once they're gone that's it. Gorgeous!
