Dynamic Duos #36

Good Saturday morning everyone!  It's black tie week at Dynamic Duos and the featured colors are Real Red and Basic Black.  There is also a dessert option of a valentine theme.  Be sure to pop over to the other design team members blogs for more inspiration!  I tell you, all these gals are talented!

I wanted to use the Affection Collection set, especially the little set of wings with the heart, so that was my starting point.  I decided on going the shabby chic/distressed route also.  First I stamped the wings twice with   Stazon Black ink and fussy cut them out.  I sponged real red onto the bottom set and crumb cake on the top set.  I cut a heart out of red glimmer paper and layered it on the wings with a dimensional.  


  I ran the red background paper through my Big Shot with the Vintage Wallpaper EF, then sponged it with Crumb Cake ink for more distressing/antiquing.


I've seen a few different tutorials on how to do the crinkly bow, like on my card, but the easiest way I've found to do this is to first tie your ribbon in a bow, spray it with water, crinkle or wad it up in your hand, and then use your heat tool to dry it.  Easy Peasy! 
 The rest is pretty self explanatory. 

Here's a list of my supplies.....
Stamps: Affection Collection
Paper: Basic Black, Very Vanilla, Polka Dot Parade DP, First Edition Dp, Red Glimmer
Ink: Real Red, Stazon Black, Crumb Cake
Accessories: Vintage Faceted button, Striped Grosgrain ribbon, Notebook border punch, Vanilla Seam Binding ribbon, Vintage Wallpaper EF

Thanks for taking a peek!   
Jenny
