I used the darling digital image
Hot Cocoa
on my card.

I took this shot at an overhead angle 
to show off that foiling on the DP
I used a sheer ribbon and underneath is Hug Snug seam binding
I made this bow as a test to see how it would turn out 
and how much work it would take to get the bow to suit me.
Not too bad IMHO
I cut the sheer ribbon first,
 and decided the length to make a triple loop bow.
Next I cut the seam binding the same length.
After the cuts, I stacked the ribbons one on top of the other. 
Next I made the bow the same way as I always do
Then I fussed with it a bit to have the seam binding show in some spots
and the sheer to show in different spots.

This gives a different look from a stacked bow. 
(In stacking the bows I make 2 different bows 
and then stack one on top of the other
and tie them together)

I use my Craft-Dee BowZ tool to make all my bows,
and its so easy to use.
The great thing about the Craft-Dee BowZ tool 
is that it makes great smaller bows for cards or gift bags
as well as the larger bows to use on regular size gifts

If you are bow challenged - the CDB tool is for you.
The tool is small and makes great bows. 
It's portable and easy to store.
