No Halloween cards today, no Thanksgiving, & no Christmas, just a birthday card for a young princess. :-) The image came from Moondrea Designs and she's called "Lady of the Roses."
I used Ohuhu alcohol markers to color her, then cut her with one of my first dies from QuicKutz. I inked the edges, then printed and cut the sentiment with a die from Avery Elle. I wanted a very CAS card so added only a hand-sewn bow for embellishment. The ribbon for the bow was originally white but I 'dyed' it with a marker, then added the tiny half-pearl.
While I use both on my cards, I find myself reaching for ribbon much more often than I reach for and use twine or cord. I think it's because I can tie so many different kinds of bows with ribbon and I have the advantage of being able to make white ribbon any color I like to more closely match a color in the image or on the card. Either way, ribbon is my "go to" for feminine cards!
