Background Sketchbook - colorized ribbon

I started coloring ribbon years ago when I didn't have the color ribbon I wanted for my cards.  For the instructions here that I did back in 2011.  I used Ranger distress stains and ink pads but you can do it with just about any ink or paints.  If you use paint you just need to water it down to make it fluid.  Just play with whatever you have and see what colors you come up with for your ribbons.
