Fashionably FABULOUS in Under FIVE Minutes!

Here is a super easy, quick card that makes a bold statement! Here is a single layer white card(PT Stampers Select) that follow the rule of thirds, uses only a couple colors and just a touch of bling, minimalism at its best! So what do you think of this plush "corduroy bag"?? Can we say a little "ribbon piecing"??! Go ahead, click the pic!
First, let me say the lines and proportions in the images in Rupa's newest set "Retro Boutique" make lining them up an absolute dream! TIP: When you place these long "shelf" images on your gridline block, line up the shelf with one line of the grid.
And here is a pic also showing how you can trim out the greeting, but easily put it back in when you want them together, just so. :) See how the top of the sentiment then also lines up with the gridline below it, and the purses line up with the one above it?! (if it looks a bit off it's because of the angle I took the photo)
Stamp in Palette Noir ink on your card, (black and white always looks super chic!!) and then select the color of you choice to add your ribbon and spotlight just one purse(I chose the third bag over, not only because I like the shape, but also this worked best for my layout). This little bag just happened to be a perfect fit stamped onto the SU! 5/8" grosgrain (Rose), YES!!! (Pick an ink like craft, Stazon or a hybrid for a crisp image, as classic inks will bleed a lot when stamped on ribbon and fabrics) I used my Fiskar scissors I dedicate to ribbon only to cut it out(even thought they are super sharp since I don't use them on anything but ribbon, you still need to cut carefully to prevent fraying). I covered my stamped image on the card (minus the handle) with Mono Multi and then pressed my ribbon piece down on top of that. Doesn't the sheen and texture of that ribbon add such luxury as well to the realism of the purse? To finish it off, I colored in the handle with my SU! Regal Rose marker and added one little clear adhesive Stampendous rhinestone sticker for the clasp, then tied a piece of matching grosgrain around the card and knotted it.

How easy was that? I just love the results, and I was able to quickly move on to another project!! Want to see MORE quick cards here on this blog? let me know!! :)
