A Quick, Little Tip

If you are a cardmaker/scrapbooker, here is a tip for you.  Have you ever been into a project only to discover in all that stash of ribbon you have you just cannot find the right color to go with your card/layout?  That happened to me the other day.  With all the ribbon I have, I was determined I was not going to buy another roll of ribbon for this one project.  So I decided it was either come up with a solution or use something instead of ribbon.  My solution:  I took a rubber stamp to my ribbon.  Yep, I just rubbed a brown stamp pad over my ribbon to age it and make it match my project much better.  See if you think so.....

I hope you can see the difference.  The original ribbon has a black and white stripe.  Swiping the ribbon with the brown stamp aged that white and made it look so much better with the paper I had chosen for this card.
