The challenge at my local Craft Warehouse this month was to create a Spring Banner using 3 assorted chipboard banner pieces and a piece of lovely double sided paper. My idea was to combine the chipboard pieces to make a cartoon-y bird and perch it on top the banner. It would be sooo cute, I thought.
And then I found this pretty green paper from My Mind's Eye, and used it to cut banner shapes from Pretty Pennants. I designed cartoon-y pots of flowers from Walk in my Garden to add to the pennants but ughhh, they did not work. (Has that ever happened to you?)
Back I went to Design Space and sigh, one more time, I pulled up Art Nouveau. Just the flowers I was envisaging! So no cute cartoon-y bird, no cartoon-y flowers and no challenge! Ah well, there's always next month's challenge and I just loved looking at the banners the other crafters created. Wow! Here's my banner:-
Lots of green here with a pop of yellow, red, blue and purple. The butterflies on the end medallions were printed on my printer then cut on my Explore. This is such a time saver with teeny cuts like the butterflies.
I am linking my banner with challenge # 246 at the Fantabulous Cricut Challenge Blog
and the Green Linky party at Craftin' Desert Divas. You HAVE to pop over to these two sites and take a look at the inspiration from their Design Teams!
I also entering my banner in the Decorate to Celebrate 3D challenge # 95. Oh my! What wonderful projects over there!
Thanks for visiting with me today. : ) Christine
