I am looking for a black and white realistic looking plaid or gingham ribbon. I have seen some around, but they don't look real...and are not black and white. I cannot for the life of me make one look real, and I don't have a scanner, if anyone can help, I would be so appreciative!!!!!
Thanks in advance!!!

There are some in the elements section. They are not black and white but you can easily change the color of them.

The key to making them look real is to put a wave and texture so they aren't so flat. Make sure to add a shadow too.

There is also a great black and white gingham ribbon in April's new CD Digital Dimensions.

what program are you using?

I know that in PS there is a mesh brush that can help to create that gingham look.

It's a tricky one, but like amy says there is a wonderful one in Aprils CD.

I am using paint shop pro 8....just now started, so I am very new to it.
I am off to try and mess with the ribbons, and see if I can make them look real Thanks girls!
