My niece will be turning 13 next month and I wanted to make a special card for her. You only become a teenager once. At least (based on what's happening in my house these days!) I hope so!
I came across my ribbon box and an idea was born. I decided to make a curtain of ribbons, to partially conceal the birthday message. It might interest you to know that I probably used more ribbon on this card than I've used in all of the cards I've ever made. Combined. LOL!
I still had the current Runway Inspired Challenge on my mind, too, so I'll link this up there. It's a little more over the top than my last entry.
But I think it's fun and very celebratory and perfect for a new teenager! Here's a view with the ribbon "curtains" held aside so that the message can be clearly seen:
This is perfect for a teenager! Love your ideas, Ardyth!
ReplyDeleteWow! This card just screams PARTY!!! Love it!
ReplyDeleteps: O know what you mean about teenage-hood being a once off! Let's hope!
ReplyDeleteThis is awesome! Perfect for a new teenager!
ReplyDeleteNow this is clever - love it Ardyth!
ReplyDeleteWhat a brilliant idea! Only you could come up with that! And what a good way to use up a lot of ribbon...
ReplyDeleteIt's also a very clever take on the ric challenge!
Brilliant card!! I never would have thought of using ribbon this way!! Awesome idea!
ReplyDeleteThis is so fun! I love it! So you've got teenage drama over there, too?
ReplyDeletePersonally, I know a 65 year old who would get a kick out of this! Very cool Ardyth
ReplyDeleteAmazing idea, Ardyth ... and such brilliant fun! Love how the curtain can be raised ... the start of a new 'stage' of life! Anita :)
ReplyDeleteGreat way to incorporate so many fun celebratory colors of ribbon on your card! I think your niece will favor this FUN card! :)
ReplyDeleteAWESOME!
ReplyDeletePerfect for the challenge and a super fun idea! Inky greetings, Gerrina
ReplyDeleteJust brilliant! Cards for teenagers are hard to make (from my personal experience anyway!) but you've nailed it here! :) She is gonna love it!
ReplyDeleteYou always have great ideas!!! brilliant card for a teen :0)
ReplyDeleteFabulous for a teenager, and fabulous for the RIC challenge too!
ReplyDelete...giggled when I read about your ribbon! Right there with you - scads of colors...sitting in a box in the closet!
ReplyDeleteYour niece is going to LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this. It is soooo "cool" (likely not the in phrase to use. Looks great with the ribbon pieces cascading over the edge!
Oh gosh! This is such a FUN card! I love love your creative idea and execution, Ardyth! Thank you for joining the fun with us at Runway Inspired Challenge!
ReplyDeleteHow fun is this?? I love it both "opened" and "closed"!
ReplyDeleteArdyth, I LOVE your ribbon curtain on this card! I bet your niece loves it, too! What a great idea!
ReplyDeleteAH! Clever, Ardyth! Honestly, I think any female would love this card...of any age!
ReplyDeleteNow this is what I call creative! A ribbon curtain. So cool!! Although I have enough ribbon to go around the Earth, twice, I don't think I've ever actually used this much either. Good for you! Nice tie in with the RIC.
ReplyDeleteThis is such fun, and perfect for a teenager. It reminds me of those hanging beads that people sometimes used as doors way way back when. Everything old is new again.
ReplyDeleteha! that is awesome!!
ReplyDeleteThis is DELIGHTFUL Ardyth~I love it!
ReplyDeleteWow! Love!
