It has been a very long time since I have been able to blog. In short....it is because of health reasons. Since I am feeling much better...now seems a good time for me to start blogging again. I still love taking classes and do take them quite often. This way I can keep on top of current trends and learn about new products. Altenew Academy offers classes that I think are well worth the time. www.altenewacademy.com Their products are high quality or you can easily use supplies that you already have in order to complete a project Like this. This card is made using a watercolor background and stencil.

Each inch cut a slice about 3/4 of the way across the ribbon leaving one side in-tact. Holding the cut side out....start circling the sticky piece from th...
