OLW5 Faux Ribbon

I have been going straight to bed after the kids are tucked in most of the week trying to get some much needed rest.  My nasty cold is finally going away, and I got some time to stamp this morning.

I love Susan's One Layer Wednesday challenges, and have had this idea brewing since I saw this week's challenge.  I'm glad I woke up at 5:00 so I could finally get it on paper!

This also fits the CC271 from SCS this week - Dusty Razzleberry Saffrons.  Betty is right, these colors look great together!

At first, I didn't think I had any faux embellishment stamps, and I was going to make a button out of a solid circle stamp. But then I came across this ribbon stamp by Hero Arts, and I knew just what I wanted to do with it.

This card would not have been possible without the use of a Stamp-a-ma-jig.  The ribbon had to be stamped 3 times to cover the full length (width?) of the card.  Since the stamp starts and ends with two dots, I used a white gel pen to add the center dot to make it look like one long piece of ribbon.

I really like how this turned out, and I never would have thought of it had it not been for Susan's challenge.  Thanks, Susan, for making me think outside the box!
