As you may know, we have a Great Dane puppy named Jack. When my husband had his knee surgery two weeks ago, we sent Jack down to stay with the breeder/handler until Steve was back on his feet again. (This was no arthroscopic surgery — they broke Steve’s femur and put in a metal plate.) Bev and Mort took wonderful care of Jack, so I wanted to make them a set of cards as a gift. I tried something new this time. My white satin ribbon was too plain, so I decided to try and jazz it up a little. I inked up my P is for Paws wheel with Basic Black ink and ran it over the white satin ribbon. Here’s how it came out:

Isn’t that great? When I think about all the different colors of satin ribbon, my mind starts to swim with the possibilities! For the rest of the card I used the Fawn-Colored Great Dane as my color palette, and made monogrammed notes cards. (Their last name starts with E.) Doesn’t the Square Lattice Textured Impressions Folder just add a touch of elegance?
