May Arts Ribbon DT - Round 2 - Video Tutorial

It's that time of year when I am giddy with excitement- but quite nervous as well - You see, my term on the design team for May Arts Ribbon is coming to an end, and I am keeping my fingers crossed that I will be blessed to continue working for this amazing company for another year. I'm a ribbon lover - I always have been, always will be, and of course, May Arts has the best ribbons around!

I always stress over what project to submit for the final round, and this year, since I am making more and more mixed media pieces, I decided to create a canvas.  But don't fret - even if the mixed media bug hasn't bitten you yet, you will still find tons of techniques that you can add to cards, layouts and all sorts of projects.  And if you do love this trend in the industry, then I hope you will be inspired  as well.

 

So now if you are ready to play along, here is my video to show you just how my project was created.

Here's a glimpse at some of the fantastic May Arts ribbons that I used.

Begin with a 12 x 12 base of patterned paper.  Cut photos and mats with the dies from the Cut, mat, Create Collection - I used dies from all four of the sets. For the photo mat in the upper right corner, I used a Spellbinders Oval die to cut the center of the mat, and adhered the photo behind the opening.  Cut embellishments from the die sets to decorate the photo mats.  Die cut the printed tag, and use alpha stickers for a title.  Embellish with ribbon and a die cut from colored vellum.  Adhere lace down the page before adding the photo mats. Stamp the floral border with watermark ink and heat emboss.  Finish as shown.
