Spotlight on Art: A Ribbon of Many Colors

I’ve said it before, but I want to say again what a delight it has been to receive so many submissions for this Spotlight on Art feature. So many of you have inspiring talent in creating artwork—I’m just sad that I won’t be able to spotlight more of you!

Out of all the submissions I have received today, I have selected today’s artwork from another simply wonderful Close To My Heart Consultant, Denise Black, who has made several delightful artwork pieces that show off the new Color Ready Seam-Binding Ribbon. Denise wrote a glowing review of the ribbon saying, “This ribbon is the coolest stuff since clear acrylix! Now I have 60 shades of ribbon on hand and never have to worry if I have the color I need!”

Let’s see how Denise has used the ribbon in her submissions. In these cards, you’ll see she has used a variety of colors of the color-ready ribbon—both colored and not!

You can definitely see what she means about always having the perfect color of ribbon! Colored flowers, stems, leaves, and ruched accent ribbons—it really is so simple and beautiful to have the ability to color the ribbons to match whatever papers you are working with. In Denise’s examples, she is matching the warm, rich hues of the Florentine paper packet.

On this embellished clipboard, we again see the ribbon playing its colorful role, with several different shades of the adorning the top—and all of them cut from the same spool! And speaking of nice touches, I want to point out how perfectly the dimensional element heart fits on the clip of this clipboard. Very nice touch, Denise!

 In the interest of not running this post on too long, I’ll end with this purse, though Denise actually submitted several other artwork pieces as well. This purse, which Denise assembled using shapes from the Cricut Art Philosophy cartridge, is topped off with a ribbon handle that is the perfect shade to match the project thanks to the Color Ready ribbon.

Denise, simply wonderful artwork, as usual! Let me thank you for your submission by emailing me to select your prize.
