While making this easel card, I found a ribbon from a birthday present that I have been saving -- for something! I'm not very good at making bows but this ribbon has a wire edging which really helps to shape the bow. So I added it to this card. Pretty and feminine.
The cardstock is double sided and I used both sides for the card. The bow is glued on a doily which adds a pretty background and blends in with the cardstock patterns.
Mailing the card could get tricky. But the card folds down nicely and mailing in a bubble envelope will protect the ribbon. Since the edges are wire, the bow can be puffed up easily.
