I think I am weird as I’m not really into ribbon. I hear lots of papercrafters go wild for it but I seem to have accumulated a tangled boxful without even trying. And I actively dislike bows!
Seeing the ‘Ribbon or Lace’ challenge at Fashionable Stamping Challenges, was the spur I needed to untangle some ribbon and use it up. I layered them and used two! To avoid over-frilliness, I folded the ribbon and secured it with a brad.
The ideas for the rest of the card came from other challenges: birds at Sunday Stampers and embossing at http://rainbowladyschallengeblog.blogspot.com/.
Tis FAB indeedily hun, I am a bit of a grungy ribbon lover as opposed to perfect ribbons so am loving your folded version, tis a goodly idea! Thanks for joining in with the Sunday Stamper... hope to see you again soon x

Really pleased we have inspired you Marina to start using some of your ribbon stash and I must say it looks fabulous on your card. The stamped image of the birds looks tremendous.
