Make it Monday, #43

I am playing along again with this week's Make-it-Monday challenge over at Papertrey Ink. Dawn McVey gave us a great tutorial on ribbon pleating. I have always wanted to try this technique, so I was excited to give it a try.


I broke out my Create a Critter cartridge and die cut the adorable turtle and glittered up her shell. I added my ribbon pleating with Raspberry Fizz saddle stitch and finished it off with a Hawaiian Shores flower button. The sentiment was stamped in Versamark and heat embossed with white embossing powder. I don't think I could ever get tired of embossing with white. It really stands out and gives my little sentiment a bit of boldness. Thanks for looking!
