I wanted to use my new Flower Fusion stamps and what better way than to combine them with a new technique (PaperTrey Make It Monday #51)! Nichole made a card last year with a folded banner and must have received a lot of requests on how to do it. It was easy to do!
I used Raspberry Fizz for the card base and topped it with a layer of yellow cardstock, rounding the corners on one side. I stamped the flower pattern onto white cardstock using Flower Fusion #12, Turning A New Leaf and the berries from Harvest Berries. I used a black glaze pen to color in the button holes on the flowers.
The banner was made but cutting a strip of 1/2" x 11" wide cardstock; like Nichole I stamped the back with polka dots and then folded it to create the zigzag effect. I marked the strip at 2" intervals so I knew where to fold it. I stamped the "birthday wishes" sentiment and added a little twine bow on the end. So easy to do but looks really nice!
