Sizzling Summer Colors Challenge

RRRChallengeBadgeReally Reasonable Ribbon Sizzling Summer Colors Challenge

Hello, Ribbon Lovers!

It’s time for another great challenge over at the Really Reasonable Ribbon Blog.  It’s summer, and the heat is on for our Sizzling Summer Colors Challenge!  I created a little 7 Gypsies Altered tray using ribbon from the June Ribbon Club Assortment and Graphic 45 Typography papers.

This was a graduation gift for a young lady with a love for art, and I chose to work with the luxurious Tangerine Satin Ribbon with a Silver Metallic Edge to pick up on the colors in my altered tray.
