"Dream"

Here is another of my 3x3 cards. I make a new one each month and give them away when someone places a CTMH order with me. I really enjoy making these cute little cards. This time I used the stamp set that is a Petite Perk called " Dream". It's a cute little set so I wanted to try it out.
I used the Veranda Level 2 paper pack, Cocoa ink and ribbon, chocolate waxy flax, some brown embroidery floss, and Tulip ink for the butterfly.
I wanted to also show you the little trick on making your bow look like it was tied on the ribbon strip but it really is placed on top with a glue dot.
Step 1 tie a piece of embroidery floss or thread around the ribbon strip where you want your bow to be. 
Like this
Step 2  Take another piece of ribbon and tie either a knot like I did here or a bow. Step 3  Place a glue dot on the back and add it over the tied area of the ribbon.
This card has the techniques of edge distressing with ink, stitching a couple of areas in an "x", straight lines and a corner treatment, dimension with the pop dotted butterfly and the use of ribbon.
They are fun to make and the same card idea can be used to make the standard size card also.
