This will be my last post until August 4th. I am taking a break, when I come back, I am going to have a huge prize giveaway with lots of chances to win. If you are not a follower, follow now so that you don't miss out.
My maiden name was America...it was such a fun name that I had to keep it! I have always loved the color combination of red, white and blue. I love making things for the 4th of July.
We have a new challenge over at International Art & Soul, the theme for this fortnight is "Stars and/or Stripes". Of course I immediately thought of 4th of July and I went to my go-to store Dreaming Tree.
I found this Stars and Stripes Banner that I thought would be fun to make. It was! Do you know I had never made a Rosette? They are so easy, I will be making them all the time!
It is really hard to take good photos of banners, LOL. I promise you, it looks much better in person than in the photo.
Here is the large Rosette that goes in the center:
Here is the smaller Rosette:
This is what it looks like on the end:
Here is the recipe for this banner:
Paper - Gold Foil, White, Silver and Red glitter paper, Authentique "Liberty"
Ink - Powder Puff by Quick Quotes
Bling - My Paper Studio Gemstones
Ribbon - Offray Wired Ribbon (bought at Joann's)
I am entering this banner into the following challenges:
Ellibelle's Corner - June/July Challenge - Summer Scenes, Summer Treats or Summer Colors
Papercraft Challenge - #39 No Cards

Hugs,
Your banner is perfect for this theme and you've managed to incorporate stars and stripes into your rosettes etc. Well done. Hazel x
ReplyDeleteSuch a great banner Chriss. Rosettes are great fun to make, small ones a bit fiddly but well worth the effort. I have a Tim Holtz die I picked up in a sale ages ago that makes rosettes, remember one year must have made about 50 of them for Christmas Cards lol.
ReplyDeleteAwesome rosettes Chriss I love it. I hope you enjoy your time off and have lots of fun

Gorgeous rosette, and yes I found them fairly easy and fun to make as well. However, my biggest problem was keeping it all together in a rosette shape while I hot glued the thing to a cardboard disk!
