Hello Everyone,
Today is December's first Tuesday
and time for my Craft-Dee BowZ inspiration post
I received a Christmas gift Saturday and
wanted to make a card to express my gratitude
to my friend.

to my friend.
I decided that I wanted the card
to have an underlying theme
of the Christmas season.

When I was coloring the blooms on this image I was not happy with one bloom.
So I decided to color another image but just the blooms.
After coloring the blooms (again) I fussy cut the 2nd bloom area
and popped it up over the original
Next, I looked at the vase and it reminded me of an old coffee pot.
So I thought I'd use some silver leaf to give it an old look

I added some satin ribbon along the right side of the card,
made my bow using my CDB bow maker,
and attached it to the satin ribbon.
Sometimes it makes for a interesting look
to mix 2 different types of ribbon.
Here is a closer view of my fluffy bow.
It's a triple loop made using very sheer ribbon (my fav)
The great thing about the Craft-Dee BowZ tool is,
it's easy to use, it's small and portable and easy to store.
Makes great bows, whether they are little or larger, say for a gift.
