HOME Banner

First of all, I cannot take ANY credit for this lovely banner. I saw a similar one on the boards at Convention this year and knew I HAD to try to make one for myself. (CASEing is a GOOD thing, right??) One of the hardest parts about this, though, is that I have NO idea who to give credit to!! Unless they were on the Artisan Award boards, NONE of the cards/projects at Convention were labeled, so I cannot give proper "high fives" to the creator . . . I changed up a few things about it, but all in all the design is not mine . . . so..........if this is YOUR idea, or you know who made it, PLEASE let me know, as I'd LOVE to credit you for your dazzling creation!!

I used my Cricut to cut out the scalloped circles as I don't have the large scalloped circle die for my Big Shot. It is 4 1/2" wide. The Pumpkin Pie circle is 4"; the Chocolate Chip circle is 3 3/4"; and the white circle is 3 1/2".

I stamped the flower images from "Heartfelt Thanks" (LOVE that set FOREVER!), then used a sponge dauber and some ink to soften up the edges a bit (I also did this on the stems, which is from "For All You Do"). I think my friend and I decided that the stems/leaves on the original were hand drawn, 'cause we could NOT find a stamp set ANYwhere that matched it!! (And, boy-oh-boy did we look!)

That's pretty much it. The rest is all pretty self-explanatory. I think it would be fun to do a class with this. You could also do "FALL" or "FAMILY" . . . the possibilities are really pretty much endless with this.
