Flight of the Butterfly Catalog Case & Dying Ribbon Tutorial

My upline, Julie, challenged me to do a catalog case from the new catalog and this is what I came up with. I'm still waiting on my new In Color ribbons to arrive...so I thought I'd try dying my own ribbon to match for this card.



Stamps: Flight of the Butterfly
Paper: Kiwi Kiss textured, Pacific Point, Tangerine Tango, Baja Breeze & Whisper White CS
Ink: Pacific Point, Baja Breeze & Tangerine Tango classic ink
Other: Earth Elements brads, paper piercer, White Taffeta ribbon (dyed with Pacific Point), sponge, stampin' dimensionals

See page 97 for the catalog sample. I kept the layout the same, but used the larger butterfly and a different color combination.



Dying Ribbon Tutorial

First, cut the Whisper White taffeta ribbon (this can be done to grosgrain ribbon also) to size for your project and pick a classic ink color. I chose Pacific Point for this one.



Next, place the ribbon on top of the open ink pad.



Then, smoosh the ribbon using a sponge into the ink pad until desired color emerges.



Lastly, lay flat to dry.
