Beauty

Hello!
Phew it's hot! Lovely :)
While I wait for Mikael's friend to arrive I thought I'd quickly share the June crop class project.
I have seen a few of these about, the Maya Road DT ones are stunning! I had to have a go!
The banner uses gorgeous MME Quite Contrary DP Yum!
Each piece is about 3 x 3.5" so the total length is about 18".


I've made the rosettes again! eek! We got in a muddle with these at Christmas I love them but some of the girls have sworn never to make them again! I didn't have any red glitter thickers so I grabbed some chip alphas from my stash and covered them in copious amounts of fine glitter. Oh what fun that was! It was everywhere except where it was supposed to be! lol!

I used a mix of nesties and punches for the circles and a cropodile to punch the little holes. Again, lacking the correct embellishment for this piece I grabbed a chipboard shape, some chipboard scrap, glitter and the dreaded glue to make my own.
I couldn't not add some flowers! I have used my favourite homemade stencil, must see if there is a punch :) Finished with a K&co wild Saffron chip flower.
Lovely candy cane stickles to finish.
My banner took a couple of days to complete with all the glitter needing to dry but the girls at the crop made a good start on theirs, hopefully they will bring the finished banners to the July crop.
Thanks for stopping by enjoy the sunshine :)

  4. Oh I love your banner Michele. I have an occasion coming up where I am contemplating making a banner, but it will need to be quite a long one and I'm thinking if I start, will I wish I hadn't part way through. LOL. So the jury is still out and I will keep thinking about it, but I just love the banner that you have created, and it might just spur me on! kxx
