Stepping into a different style can be fun – that's what this vintage card was for me! This is not my usual style, but I wanted to try a few new elements so I gave it a whirl. I saw this gathered ribbon on a card that I really liked. I also saw that the two Eifel Towers coordinte nicely together. I do think I need to work a little bit at this vintage style, but practice is a good thing!
STAMPING TIP: To create the gathered ribbon I stitched a piece of black embroidery thread through the center of the ribbon. I pulled it together and then used dimensionals to hide the thread and attached the gathered ribbon.
