Using up the Green Ribbon - New House

[Tip Top]

Bought 22 yards of mint green 1.5inch wide organza ribbon a while ago. Actually, I bought two. Was to be used for some Engagement Invitations / Announcements but eventually wasn't used in the end as they went for a different design. So I have now got two reels of the stuff to use up! It was a bargain - approx £4 a roll (inlcuding p&p from the US) so it's not an expensive disaster!

So, what can I use it for? A neighbour had just moved house and I wanted to send them a New House card.... bit of thinking later, and this is what I came up with! The ribbon sort of represents the grass.

Again, available to buy (http://www.tiptoptoppers.co.uk/)!
