It's Tuesday, and that means Digi Choosday, with the awesome 24 hour digi code -- take advantage of this! Our theme for the next 2 weeks is Winter Blues. It's also my turn to share a short tutorial with you.

This awesome digi is from the Twiggy & Toots Collection, found here in CD and here in Digital Download. Just the strawberry cupcake image can be found here. I colored the cupcake image using Copic markers. The cool blue background paper is from the Frosted Winter Octavia Collection (CD or Download). Then, the fun begins.

Alternating every inch or so, ink your ribbon. I cut 13 inches of ribbon for this card. Here I am, getting started on it.
Here's the completed striped, multicolored ribbon --

The card shape was cut out on my Silhouette Cameo, using a Lori Whitlock cutting file. The stars and circles were made with a Minc foil machine.
