Hello sweet friends ... I have a banner to share with you all today. I {adore} making banners and have them hanging throughout my house for every holiday and in between too! The one I created to share with you all today is currently hanging in my kitchen for Easter and spring, but will retire to a special place in my design studio shortly! Check out my 'create banner' made in March - so fun :)
I picked up a box of Making Memories chipboard alphas a couple weeks ago and knew immediately that they would compliment the new Melissa Frances 5th Avenue paper line perfectly! Soft shades of blue, aqua and creme - {swoon}! That's what I call 'bliss'!!! I started the base of the banner by die cutting pennants with the Spellbinders Nested Pennants and Nested Lacey Pennants -- my new favorite tools!
Next I stamped some frame images from the JustRite Vintage Oval Labels (yum!) in kraft on creme cardstock and die cut them out using the coordinating Spellbinders Labels Six die. Then the magic happens ... add all the embellies to make this pretty little banner come to life! Another new passion of mine is handmaking rosettes out of Melissa Frances crepe paper -- they are sooooo easy and fun -- they come together in minutes and are really realistic looking and lovely! The crepe paper is very easy to manipulate, scrunch and scrumble to create time-worn little treasures! Aren't they so pretty?
A few rusty jingle bells and Tim Holtz safety pins, some resin button flowers, fluffy tattered fabric flowers, glittered library clips, buttons, satin flowers with rhinestones, paper doilies, baker's twine and beautiful vintage trim and swirls complete this little sweetheart! The Shabby Vintage Seam Binding is Oatmeal Creme from my Etsy Shop!
Thanks for peeking in today ... have a wonderful stampy day :)
