Clean & Simple 2, Day 9 Revisited


A comment on yesterday's card planted a seed. Paula wrote, "I am immediately envisioning a "tuxedo" version of this for the guys. Very classy look." Thanks, Paula, for a terrific idea!


There's a die that will cut the pieces for a similar paper bow, but I used my Silhouette to cut this one.


I colored the "Candi" pieces with a black Sharpie to make the studs. These embellishments are like brads without the shanks. I used Glossy Accents to attach them.

    how fun Dixie - great idea with the candi dots also - I think I should pick up a package of white or cream ones for coloring.

    Thank you Dixie... I get to "see" my vision without trying to figure out exactly how to do it. LOL I've got a long list of ideas constantly going but sadly never even get to half of them so I'm excited that you did this. This really is fabulous looking! :)
