Double Bows and Bold Butterflies

Hey Crafty Peeps -

Corinna at the Ribbon Carousel has been pestering asking me for quite some time for a tutorial on tying a Double Bow with a Button. ;) So I finally decided to share my secret techniques (okay, they aren’t that secret!).  You can check out the tutorial over at the Ribbon Carousel Blog… I have a couple of different techniques that I use so there are a lot of pictures. 

The following card is one I created while making the tutorial.  I made the double bow using some striped twill ribbon, ivory jute and a light green button.

I stamped two butterflies frpm the Spread Your Wings stamp set in Memento Tuxedo Black on Choice Snow White cardstock.  After coloring with Copic markers I cut out and coated with Illuminate Smooch for a glittery finish.  I attached the butterflies to the card using some foam dimensional dots.
