Welcome to October 1. Do you believe it. Another month has started. Unbelievable!!! This year is coming to a close very quickly.
Also since this is the 1st of the month, the October Craft-Dee BowZ challenge starts today. Join in the fun. The theme is always Anything Goes with a Handmade Bow. Submit a project, you never know, you may be the next winner of 25 yards is yummy ribbon.
Halloween will be here shortly and I have a few Halloween projects to share with you over the next week or so.
Craft-Dee BowZ will be having a blog hop starting on Thursday October 9-10, so join in and leave comments on the DT posts and you might win your very own Craft-Dee BowZ tool.
Today's project is a card that is perfect for Halloween and would look great on the front of a bag as a panel instead of being made into a card.
I used 2 different Halloween themed papers and some others that complimented those papers.
The bow came about in kind of a funny way. When I received my ribbon for October I received 3 sheer ribbon colors all layered together and wound up in a circle. Not on a spool or anything. As I looked at the ribbons and the 3 colors that were sent, I decided to use the Craft-Dee BowZ tool with all three ribbons layered one on top of the other. I went with a 3 loop bow and since I was using 3 layers of ribbon that resulted in 18 loops. And if that wasn't enough, I felt I needed to add an orange-ish colored ribbon to the mix. So I made another 3 loop bow with long tails in that orange color. I positioned the sheer ribbon bow on top of the orange ribbon bow. Using the long tails from that orange bow, I tied the bows together and then just tied a small bow on the top to give it a finished look. I think I could have made 2 loop bows and still have gotten a really fluffy bow.
Check out that silver bony hand reaching out from under the bow. It's the perfect embellishment for this card.
Well I will post another Halloween card on October 7, since its my regular monthly Craft-Dee BowZ post. It's another halloween card and I think you will like it as well.
Thanks for stopping by today. See you soon.
Great Halloween card and love the ribbon bow of the three colors you used. Perfect for Halloween.
