Technique Tuesday - Decorative Borders

 Today's card is similar to yesterday's in as much that I created a background onto a mat using a few of the stamps from the Decorative Borders stamp set. Today's was about making a very simple card using a very simple technique of masking the centre of the card then stamping around the sides. I took a piece of White Crinkled Seam-Binding and using a Stampin' Write Marker pen, I drew all along the length covering it with the same bright green ink of Granny Apple Green. That's another fantastic thing that can be done with the Stampin' Up! ribbons, they can be coloured with the marker pens or Blends pens too. If you don't have the right coloured ribbon for your project, take some of the white and colour it! Adding the sentiments on the inside mat and the front then both mats were stepped onto the ink pad to show the borders.
