Donna Phelan back again.
Today I am sharing a Birthday Celebration card.
It has everything but the kitchen sink!
I started with the Tutti Designs Nesting Stitched Banners die. I cut 4 of them in 2 different sizes in 4 different Designer Papers. I then laid down a piece of thick colored twine, diagonally, to see where I wanted to place my banner and to find out how much twine I would need. I then cut 2 holes on each side with my Crop-O-Dile, this made it easy to attach my twine to my card base, I just tied 2 bows, 1 on either side. Adhered my pretty banners using Scor Tape. I know this will hold them securely in place.
I took some time to go through all of my dies, choosing ones that had small little images I could use to decorate my banners.
These all seemed to work really well:
Memory Box Butterfly Exhibit*
Memory Box Homespun Hearts*
Button, Rhinestones and Pearls.
* Butterfly Exhibit is no longer available
but there are so many other choices for butterflies you can find HERE.
* Homespun Hearts is no longer available
but there are so many other choices for hearts you can find HERE.
I also used the Impression Obsession Wishes to complete my sentiment. This was cut from White card stock and then I colored it with a Copic Marker to match my Happy Birthday which was stamped in Bermuda Bay ink. Once dry I coated it all over with Clear Embossing Powder and then heated it. It is much sturdier and has a nice sheen to it now.
My advice to you is to try and think of different ways to use your dies.

I adore how you use banners on your cards and this one has a little different twist with the punched holes. I also love all of the little elements that you added to the banner. Just FUN.
