Today is the start of a week-long adventure over on ABNH, where we combine our favourite company Hero Arts, with the amazing GORGEOUS May Arts ribbons~love.
I decided to go with a layout... here is the finished product, before I go into a micro-tutorial about how I acheieved this look.
I had a little stash of ribbon to play with thanks to the wonderful Bethney at May Arts, and the Frayed Rosettes ribbon stood out at me. It had potential :)
This is what it looks like 'normal' laid out on my non-stick craft mat
and then, taking my Dylusions and Tattered Angels spray inks, I sprayed over the entire ribbon, careful to spray in 'stripes' across the ribbon, so only small sections would be coloured.

| yes this photo is upside down ... |
I made sure to overlap the colours of spray just a little, so I'd get a nice even ombre effect, rather than sharp lines of contrast between colours.
I dried the ribbon CAREFULLY with my heat gun (and with several paper towels), and let it sit aside for a bit.
Then it was on to bringing the rest of the layout together!! Here are a few detail shots.

Some ink splatters and (true) sentiments)

| I swear this photo didn't look so blue in photoshop... |
Some more fun stamping. There is a line of yellow stamping above the pink but it's so subtle it didn't show up in the photo. It's definitely easier to see in real life.
