Technique Tuesday: Pleated Ribbon

Pleating ribbon adds texture to your projects.  There are a number of ways to gather the ribbon.  You can use a running stitch or just adhere loops with glue dots or sticky strip.

The ribbon adds a little extra to the DSP background.  A simple card with a lot of impact.

This card uses pleated ribbon for the "clouds." The scraps of cardstock were some leftover bits that were adhered to make the abstract grass and sky.

The sentiment banner matches the ends of the ribbon "clouds."  A sweet card for a sweet baby!
