Hi! Couture Creations Designer Sue Smyth here with you today sharing a little piece of eye candy. I love making banners! This banner could be used for Valentine's Day or for an anniversary.
The large heart panels are die-cut from white cardstock with the Hearts Nesting Dies.
First, die-cut five large hearts from white cardstock using the largest Heart Nesting Die. Ink the edges with red ink.
For the second layer of the banner, die-cut five hearts from red cardstock with the second largest Heart Nesting Die and then emboss those hearts with the Cheerful Embossing Folder. Rub over the embossed hearts with a pearl paint. Once dry, mount the painted hearts onto the white hearts with Foam Mounting Tape.
Use the Kaleidoscope Die to cut four hearts from pink glitter paper to create the third layer of the banner. Mount each Kaleidoscope heart onto white cardstock and attach to the red hearts with
Embellish the middle heart with paper flowers. For a shabby finish, dab the flowers with gesso. Add a chip word.
Use the Aurora Vine Die to cut leaves from green cardstock to tuck around the flower cluster. Tip:
Trim the die-cut leaves to create small leaflets that are easier to work with. Add bits of gauze and a resin heart to the flower cluster.
Place eyelets into each side of the hearts. String the banner together with wide organza ribbon embellished with pearls.
Finish the banner by embellishing the Kaleidoscope hearts with Moonlight Self-Adhesive Pearls
and white fiber.
Happy crafting!
