I Need Your Vote!

 

Wow, I had SO MUCH FUN stamping on this Back to Black Designer Series Paper from Stampin' Up!  I grabbed my FAVE stamp, Dotty Angles, and stamped all over a piece of Back to Black paper with the floral pattern... what do you think!?

Can you tell what I did?  See all those polka dots!?  Too cool, right? All those dots were stamped with the Dotty Angles polkadot stamp!!

First I stamped with Daffodil Delight, then Cajun Craze then Pumpkin PIe ink.

OK so what I need your vote on is..... what do you like better... the gold ribbon above, or, the Tangerine Tango Twine below?

Card Details:  the base card is cut from the Kraft 12x12 cardstock at 4-1/4" x 11" and folded in 1/2, and layered with a piece of Cajun Craze Cardstock (4"x 5-1/4") and the Back to Black stamped DSP is 3-3/4" x 5".

So leave me a comment... what looks best on this card?

Gold Satin Ribbon? or Tangerine Tango Twine!?

I have one more question for you ... did you even notice these gorgeous new Satin Ribbons in the Annual Catalog!?  I'm embarrased to say that it took me about 2 months to even see them!!! They are gorgeous and they tie a perfect bow or knot.. they are truly yummy!!

[Dawn MacKay]

That's a tough one...I like the ribbon and the twine! Very clever technique...thanks for sharing. : )

[Seletta]

Both are beautiful, think for this card I like the twine best. The ribbon is gorgeous, it will do wonders for Christmas projects. Thanks for sharing the background technique with the Dotty Angles (you enabler you).
Have a joy filled week-end.

[Nan Goerlitz]

Love the twine for this card. To me, the gold looks a little formal on this, and the twine is more playful (like the colorful background)

[Mary Craig]

Love the ribbon you used. No, I didn't notice it in the catalog.
What a fun idea to stamp on the DSP!
MaryC

[Kay V]

I like the twine best. What a great card. Love it.

[Melissa]

I like the twine the best. Love the card

[Janet Nelson]

Fun technique, very clever and love the result. I like the gold ribbon best, think it balances the background perfectly. Thanks for sharing your talent.

[Mary C.]

I like the twine best, really jumps off the card. I feel the ribbon is a little too fancy and sedate for this fun, casual card.

[Aileen]

As always, thanks for sharing. What a wonderful idea to use the dotty angles stamp on the black DSP. It is a lot easier than painting the white designs on the paper. I would have to say the twine is perfect for this card.

[Mary Lou Foster]

I like the twine however if you colored some satin ribbon with tangerine tango ink, that would add another color choice with some shine.

[Rachael Knight]

Awesome idea Patty stamping on the DSP! You are so clever!
Hmm I like the twine best on that card I think but both are beautiful. Thanks for the inspiration as always!

[Mary]

I have to go with the Twine, it is playful like the card.

[Anita Kehn]

I know gold is in but on this card the twine gets my vote by far. It just "goes".

[Sharon Wentz]

Definitely the gold ribbon!

[Cheryl S]

I love the Satin ribbon in all 4 colors but for this card, I like the twine. Thanks for the tip about stamping on the DSP.

[Kathy]

I love the twine! I agree with Nan that the twine makes the card more playful.

Kathy

[Sandy McClay]

I am a twine person....this is so pretty either way! How creative you are! Love this so much!

[L. Yang]

Gold!

[Clsudia]

Gold!

[SusanDR]

Such a cool technique! I like both, but if I have to pick I'd go for the ribbon because it is more formal for this card.

[Lynn Gauthier]

Tangerine Tango Twine. Love the DSP

[Gay Ferland]

As always, great card, technique, and I love the gold ribbon!! The twine does not show up as much.
I have noticed the 5/8" satin ribbons.....need money to purchase!!! Lol!

[Joy Perryman]

I like the Gold ribbon the best. It's more elegant looking to me.

[Chris]

I like the twine one better. Very pretty.

[Michelle VW]

I like the simple elegance of the Gold ribbon. I'd almost forgotten about those -- especially the gold and silver! Thanks for the reminder! :) Love the technique of stamping on the Back to Black DSP. Thanks for the inspiration!

[Jackie Hardy]

I love the idea of stamping on the Back to Black DSP. Reminds me of candy corn with those colors. I think the gold makes it look more Thanksgiving-ish; the Tangelo Twist twine makes me think more of Halloween with the other colors.

[Mary Ann Ely]

I like both Patty, but I think I like the twine a littl better.I LOVE how you can color the Back To Black DSP. I will have to oder some. What a cute idea. I know I would have never thought of that. Thanks so much for ALL your ideas.

[Kathy Gage]

I am going with Twine!

[Account Deleted]

Patty - I like the Tangerine Tango Twine because it brings out the orange in the design of the DSP paper. What a clever idea

[Barbara Kempton]

I like the twine!!!

[patti moffett]

Twine my new favorite toy and my cats as well!!

[Cathy Zaramba]

I really like the satin ribbon best. Loved how the dsp paper looked when you stamped over it. Thank you for sharing all your wonderful card designs.

[Judy]

Patty I like the twine best. If the gold was offset with a tinge of gold somewhere else on the card, the gold would coordinate nicely, but since it doesn't, I think the twine looks better with the beautiful overall card. Good job on the background! Love it.

[Cyndi]

I love the twine... Cool idea!

[Rachel]

Love the twine, gold for more formal

[Mary]

Both are pretty but I think the twine, it's more casual.

[Mary R.]

Wow! What a super idea, Patty! That dotted stamp sure makes a transformation & it is wonderful. I like them both, but the gold looks prettier to me.

[Trish]

I vote for twine. The gold ribbon is too formal for the whimsy of this card.

[Stephanie S]

I vote for the twine.

[Kaylin K]

I prefer the twine but both look great.

[Diana W.]

Love them both. Hard to pick, but I would have to say "ribbon" wins.

[Carolee]

Each one gives the card a different feel. They are both good. Personally, I like the twine better. Thank you for sharing so many good ideas!

[Dianne]

Definitely the TWINE!!!!!!!

[Judy]

Definitely the twine -- it is more "organic" or consistent with nature as reflected in this card. The gold ribbon seems more for elegant cards.

[janet anderson]

Love both but the twine is my favorite

[Peg Smith]

To my eye the twine is Cute, the gold satin ribbon is elegant!

[irene]

Love the twine

[Mary]

The ribbon is beautiful and I love it but this card it playful so the twine gets it for me!What a great idea using the Dotty Angles on the DSP! Looks great, thanks fo sharing. MaryL.

[Robin Messenheimer]

Twine absolutely!

[Pat]

First of all I love the paper the way you stamped it. Now it is the perfect Halloween paper. And I love the Twine! It's so much more fun!

[Terri]

I like the ribbon the best!! And I didn't see the ribbon either! Thanks for ALL of your ideas!!!

[Wendy V]

Gold Satin Ribbon gets my vote!

[Margaret Knight]

My vote goes for the gold ribbon.

[Micheline Lueken]

I liked both the ribbon and the twine on the cards because they gave the cards such different looks. But the gold ribbon gave the one card such elegance - I could see Thanksgiving there.

[Dixie Finn]

Love the twine. A great pop of color to match the stamping. AND the stamping technique is fantastic.

[Donna W Bruffey]

I'm torn between the two. The twine looks great if you need to send a quick card, but the Gold Satin ribbon gives the card a more elegant touch. If I were to be the recipient of this card, I'd love to see the Gold ribbon!! Lovely creation.

[Debbie Hughes]

Love the twine!!!

[www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=652536401]

Cute card! I love the twine the best. Much more playful. Thanks for your great idea. :)

[Julie Rae]

The twine! Your background is playful and so is the twine.

[mayberry]

Stamping on the paper is a very neat idea. The ribbon is my favorite but they are both nice. Thanks for sharing your creative ideas. Mary Binder

[laura pigg]

I like the twine, it makes it more whimsical. Love the technique!

[Susan Mac]

since I've had time to play w/ribbon, I really like your orange/white twine....more fall looking; the gold &silver are so delicate looking & would do very well w/a wedding, anniversary card; but, really anything goes when you make it!

[Donna]

That is FABULOUS; wow!!! :)

[Muffins Mama]

Lots of votes for the twine, but I like the GOLD SATIN RIBBON best. TFS!

[Daphne Anderson]

I like the tango twine best for this card.

[Pam Murray]

I like both choices, but I think the tangerine twine card has a little more umph! Great card and creative technique. You're such a great teacher!

[Karen]

Tangerine twine!

[Staci]

I love the tangerine tango twine!!!

[Angela Walters]

I like the Tangerine Tango Twine. Great cards, either way!!

[Linken]

Just love what you did with the stamping on the DSP. Clever! Ribbon or twine??? Both do look good. That said I do like how the twist of colour in the twine has the same feel as the stamped dots. With the mix of colours stamped there is kinda a Tangerine Tango there too and the twine brings that out. Thanks for another great idea Patty.

[Sharon Roselli]

Love your card and the background so clever! I like the gold ribbon best.

[Lucy K]

the tangerine twine, hands down! :o) Thanks for your creative ideas Patty!

[Sara Amuso]

Twine makes it look like candy corn...gold ribbon is very classy !!

Sara

[S. Carter]

First of all, I think you are having way too much fun with that designer paper! :)

I like the color of the ribbon, but the texture of the twine. Maybe a Crushed Curry twine? I have a terrible time using Baker's Twine on cards because it is so soft I just want to sit and hold it. lol!

[karenladd]

Love them both but have to say that I am a twine person...so I vote for the twine!!

[Carlene (Chatterbox)]

Wonderful cards...on this one the one with twine strikes me as my favorite although BOTH are lovely!

[Bridgette]

This is hard to choose, but I think I like the twine better. Love the stamping idea!

[Janet Swofford]

The gold ribbon gets my vote although they are both beautiful!!!

[Sherry]

Tangerine tango twine!
