Revised inside of Lessons Learned tip-ins

I'm not sure I helped these tip-ins, but I spent the day trying to figure out what to add to the tip-ins that would make them less ho-hum. After eliminating several ideas, I added three 1/8" strips of black drafting tape on the right and a ribbon and safety pin on the left. The ribbon color looks weird in the scan, but it's really lavender and not mottled like it appears in the scan. Again, this is the tip-in I'm keeping and the one I experimented on first. UPDATE on ribbon color: The reason it looks green is because, after careful inspection, I realized the Ranger Color Wash I spritzed in that area bleeds when wet. The small bit of glue I used activated the Color Wash and bled thru the ribbon. Just one more Lesson Learned :>) .

I started looking at the man in the house as a bird house. When I thought of it that way, I realized I could add the ribbon I wanted to use and the safety pin could represent the branch it's hanging on. The more I cut, the better I got at angling the ribbon to match the pitch of the house. I originally wanted to use organza ribbon, but found the ribbon with the word "Dream" on it and knew it was what I wanted to use.

Another thing that helped was I folded the page in half (something I won't do when I send the tip-ins to the hostess) and you should be able to see the crease in this latest scan. It gave me a better understanding of how the images will look when mounted in a book. Incidentally, the Saint image is on red rosin paper that was splattered with cranberry color wash and the red on the house and "Ls" is embossing powder.
