...or bright red varigating into rich ivory for "Strawberry Cheesecake"...
I just love the way thre ribbons fell into this flower shaped pattern.
I wrapped the ribbons around a Sweet Nothings Journal, this one a soft pink cardstock filled with vintage papers, paper lace, and a smidgen of swiss dot organza.
The next set I had the colors in mind for awhile, I just wasn't sure how I wanted to prepare the ribbons, or present them. I was struck with inspiration whilst reading the latest issue of Somerset Home, Connie Govea Stuart talked about her dyeing technique for ribbons using Easter Egg tablets. I decided to try her technique (although I still used my regular dyes). They were gorgeous even during their dye baths!

Your ribbons turned out beautiful! I just finished dying some coffee filters egg shell blue with the egg tablets, because I, too, read the CG Stuart article!
And I loved your little nest tutorial on the year of color blog!
