I wanted to really make May Arts fabulous ribbon the focus of my card, so I decided to make a negative space card featuring some of their vibrant purple ribbons. I used Dreamweaver Feather Stencil to trace the feather shape on to white cardstock, and then cut the shape out with an exact-0 knife. I used Stampendous Penned Thank You Rubber Stamp for my sentiment.
I used double sided tape on a piece of cardstock and placed my ribbon on top of it. Then adhered it to the card, and foam taped my cut out feather shape. It's a quick and simple card, that has a big WOW factor!

This is cute. A great idea for scrap ribbon that's not long enough to tie a bow.

That is so cool! I love the way you used the ribbon. This would be great for all those tiny scraps I can't seem to throw away.

Love the feather. I did something like this with washi and cut out butterflies. I'll have to try it with the ribbons.
thanks for sharing a wonderful card.

Using the beautiful ribbons behind the feather image is so inspiring. I love the script of the sentiment. What a neat way to use the stencil. I live in Georgia in the northern mountains. Thanks for the inspiration.
