15 Ways to Use Straight Ribbons Day 13

We’re almost done with the 15 ideas! And I am obviously running out of NEW ways to pimp my ribbon templates so let’s just review again like we have a few times before <grin>

• YOU add the color to these templates on separate layers so your dots and patterns don’t get muddy and YOU can adjust the look of the texture and edge layers so that they look right with ANY color you want to use.
• 12 different patterns and style to choose from

• No funny colors on white or light portions when you recolor. Greyscale ribbons may give you a result like this:

But with my ribbon templates you get this:

• Turn your patterned papers into ribbons too

• VALUE priced! Just $5.99!

OK, today’s idea is simple but can be executed in a jillion ways. Here’s the simple idea: use ribbon, anywhere in your layouts, in ways that I have already shown you as a base for an alpha. So wherever you’ve already placed a ribbon, put an alpha on top. I’ve prepared a few visuals for you but since the possibilities are so great when you come alphas and ribbons, this is obviously just a springboard to get your ideas flowing!

I used the following alphas in these examples (some recolored) Fee Jardine, Cherry Snap; Linda GB, Fleur de Rouge; Designs by Sarah, Grassy Alpha; Carrie Bombria Scrappy Alpha; Sarah Design Cardboard Alpha


Your alphas can be words, monograms, numbers, even symbols (brackets maybe?) You can add emphasis and flow to your pages. You can use the alphas as a contrast or a coordinate to your perfectly colored ribbons. You can really go nuts!

Thanks for reading and shopping with me.
