MIM #51 - Dimensional Sentiment Banner

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!
