I just love the way this turned out...

the ribbon was just PERFECT for this application...

I got it at Dollar Tree for ...

a dollar of course...lol...

Is a Sheer Ribbon, and it comes with quite a bit on the roll...

5/8 in wide and 6 yards long...what a deal...

with it I turned on the heat gun/heat tool

and started the melting process...

I did not want to melt it to the card and for sure not burn the paper...

so you MUST be VERY CAREFUL

doing this to the ribbon...

I first made the card...

Used Stampin' Up DSP...oh this so beautiful...

too bad I did not get more...well it's not too late to get some of this

DSP at Stampin' Up...it's on the retired list from the 2012-2013 Catalog...

it's the Floral District Designer Series Paper...

oh and a Mark's Finest Paper a Heinrich Co stamp

from the Spring Flowers Stamp Set

the card is a double gate fold or double Z fold card ...

when its opened up it's got another panel of colors...

 

 

here is what it looks like opened up...

I love the belly band...

Oh yeah back to how I did the weathered ribbon..,heehee

I assembled the card and added the ribbon to the belly band...

then with the heat tool/gun

I made the ribbon start to melt...BE CAREFUL when doing this...

DO NOT BURN YOURSELF!!!

or your project...
