Ribbon Scraps...

Recently I was shown an idea to use up ribbon ends that are too short for a whole project. Unfortunately I have totally spaced and have no memory of the source. If you know whose idea this is, please leave a comment and I will give them the credit they deserve.  This is my version of that concept.  

I used a strip of CS covered with a strong double stick tape to lay out my ribbon pieces.  Once adhered to the front, I turned it over, added tape to the back and pulled the ends around firmly to attach them.  
Using this as my color palette, I chose to color the calf image from A Day for Daisies with Copics.  I'm not happy with my little Black Angus... I colored her so dark, her head is not well defined against her body.  Next time I will color her with more highlights.

  3. Oh Ginny, this little calf is so cute! I love your color palette and I think you did an awesome job of coloring her black, I always struggle with this color. It difficult to keep the highlights and shadows but not keep it too light and then it looks grey.... I avoid black to be honest. lol Thanks for playing at Ppinkydolls hun. ~Lizzy
