Pleated Ribbon

I ran across this pleated ribbon tutorial over at Pretty Pink Posh, and I wanted to try it out for today's card. It's definitely a different take on how to use ribbon. I can see myself using it to make a bold focal point in future cards, as an alternative to the traditional bows and knots. I think the key is to have a very strong adhesive to ensure that the pleats stay put. The Tombo Adhesive tape runner just wasn't cutting it, so I had to use a dab of Beacon's 3-in-1 craft glue to secure each pleat to the black cardstock. In retrospect, I should have used a different color of ribbon since the cardstock base was white, but I think this is a good first try.
