February Craft-Dee BowZ Challenge

Hi Bloggers

Today is Feb. 1 (do you believe it)
and it's the start of the monthly challenge over at Craft-Dee BowZ.

Their challenge is always Anything Goes with a Handmade Bow.

This month their sponsor is Cute As A Button 

and the winner will receive 2 single digital images.

We'd love to see your entry.

Hope you can join in the fun 

In the meantime let me share my Craft-Dee BowZ inspiration project 

For the background on this card, I used a Cover a Card stamp from Impression Obsession. I stamped it with VersaMark and used clear EP and heat set it. OK so that's not a big deal, right? Well after I did that, I used foil on the embossed image with the use of my laminating machine.
Worked like a champ.

Here is a close up of  my multi-loop bow.

That bow is so easy to make with the Craft-Dee BowZ tool

This great tool is all you need to make  a bow.
