For my project I altered a journal using Pink Satin w/ Scalloed Edge ribbon from Really Reasonable Ribbon and SC0038 Blooming Memories Stamp Set (Page 50 2012 eCatalog) from Hampton Arts.  I also used some inks from Hampton Arts, die templates from  Spellbinders and paper from Discount Cardstock.

To start I die cut a fancy label shape using S5-148 Decorative Labels Eight and Simply Smooth White cardstock.  Then I stamped the floral branch, bird image and sentiment using Color Box Chalk Ink Pink, Olive Pastel, Blue Lagoon, Black.  For the pink cardstock mat I used S5-131 A2 Matting Basics A die template.  I layered the paper pieces using 3D Foam Squares and then glued the Pink Satin w/ Scalloed Edge ribbon to the backside and attached the piece to the front of the journal.  

To add multiple colors of ink to a solid image I use Q-tips to apply the ink.  Here is a picture of the humming bird.

When I was attaching the ribbon to the paper I cut the strips of ribbon a little longer and then I cut in from each end towards the corner to create nice crisp corners on the ribbon.  I added a little bit of hot glue to the backside to hold the ribbons in place.

I stamped the ribbon from the KN2456 Think Pink Stamp and fussy cut it and added 3D Foam Squares to pop it up.  I added Pearls from The Rubber Cafe' to the flower centers.

I created a little ribbon and flower cluster down in the bottom corner.  I used the same Pink Satin w/ Scalloed Edge ribbon and then I added a Pink Acrylic Flower from Shabby Scraps and a couple of Pink/White Roses from I am Roses.  The Lg Flat Back Pearl for the flower center is from Beady Bom Bom. Then I added some leaves and diamond stickles.  To create the leaves I used S5-129 Foliage Two die template from Spellbinders.

I took a piece of the Pink Satin w/ Scalloed Edge and added three Round Acrylic Ribbon Buckles and then I glued this to the spine of the journal.

Once I had the ribbon glued in place then I added Lg Flat Back Pearls to the center of each buckle.
