Jaded Blossom June Release Day Four- Retirement

It's Thursday and day four of the June Jaded Blossom release week. 
What a great week and so many fantastic ideas using these new stamps and dies. 

I know I am always looking for sentiments for cards for coworkers, well now there is a stamp set devoted to just that. 

For my card today, I created a special pattern paper and used the same stamp pad to die my ribbon to match.

I used the Hibiscus and Spring Bingo stamp sets to create a pretty pattern paper. I then cut strips using the JB flag 2 dies. I layered a border on top of those strips using the Border dies and finishing it with my ribbon. 

To get the right color ribbon, I used a piece of tea died ribbon I had in my stash and rubbed it across the ink pad I used for my flowers. An hour later when it was dry, I had a piece of custom colored ribbon!

Stamps are a great way to customize pattern papers. 

Here is a look at the complete sets of stamps and dies being featured by the Design Team today.
