I love to use ribbon on my cards. It seems to be the perfect ending to each card I make. It wraps it all together!

Your card is so pretty. You always seem to know what embellishments to use and where to put them. As for my favorite embellishment it would have to be, I know this is going to sound boring but, it would be RIBBON!!!!! I think it adds a final touch. You can put it anywhere on the card and it brings warmth. I don't think its boring at all. It's just wonderful!

Sue from Oregon said...

I am not very creative when it comes to embellishments...I tend to keep things simple, but I do love ribbons and blingy type thingies LOL!

My favorite embellishment is ribbon. I'm part of a card ministry and we have to keep things as flat as possible to mail so usually just a small ribbon.

Doramiyi said...

Thanks for the chance.

I love anything small and cute-buttons, stickers, pearls, crystals, flowers, etc. My favorite at the moment is crystals.

By the way love your card.

My favorite embellishment by far is ribbon!!! I love ribbon!!!

Anonymous said...

Too much to chose from. But if I have to it would be a tie between brads and glitter. Love your card!! Great sketch!! Thanks for all the inspiration!!

Abby said...

My favorite embellishments are some little silver dots I picked up--they came as a continuous line, but I cut them up to use individually. A short string of them make great bubbles for fish.

I think my favorite embellishment to "use" is ribbon. My favorite embellishment that I "don't use" are my primas. I never know where to put them or if the color matches so I usually just leave them sitting in their containers for viewing only.

Anything **sparkly** is irresistible! I love glitter, metallic embossing, shiny brads and buttons, and twinkly ribbons. Your cute hearts would be perfect for the Valentine's Day card I'm giving my hubby of 30 years. ;^)

Your blog is AWESOME! Thanks for sharing your talents.
