Have you been rummaging through your ribbon stash for scraps that can be used for LESSology Challenge #45: Ribbon Fantasy? How about some creative inspiration from design team member Mitra Pratt?
This lantern started off brown and was sent to me from a bloggy friend to alter. I thought spraying it gold with a hint of purple and adding sparkles was just the thing!
The purple ended up more on the top and then of course I added some mists to make my hand rolled roses shimmery!
Used a smidge of moss as well and some twisty vine berries.
The hand dyed ribbon really accents those roses. I have a tutorial on my blog for hand dying ribbon from stamp pads. Hop on over if you want to see how I made it. This ribbon got really crinked very a very vintage feel.
I'd love it if you gave it a try when you play along with our ribbon challenge here at LESSology!
