The May Scarlet Lime kit has the cutest wide ribbon! I love the bright colors and the diagonal stripes :)
I decided to have a little fun with the ribbon, since it made me so happy, and used it on this two-page layout.
I stitiched the ribbon down on the left side of the layout, folding it over about every inch.
I did not adhere the ribbon before stitching. Starting at the bottom on the page I lined the edge of the ribbon up with the edge of the page and slowly started stitching. Once I had stitched through a fold, I would stop and simple fold the ribbon up for the next fold, then stitch over that. I love the dimension of the ribbon border!
Next, I used the ribbon for a little rosette embellishment on the bottom right side of the layout.
The rosette was really easy to make. I baste stitched along one edge of the ribbon and then gathered the ribbon so it curled into a circle. Then I tied the thread ends together to hold the shape. I layered the buttons and tied them together with a piece of baker's twine for the rosette center.
Have fun with your ribbons :)
