Welcome Donna.. :)
Over to Donna
Aloha! I’m Donna Mikasa and I was born and raised in Hawaii on the island of Oahu. My blog is three umbrellas (http://www.3umbrellas.blogspot.com) and I am happy to be guesting here at Catchy Challenges!
When Deepti mentioned that the theme was PATTERNED PAPER, I made a banner using papers from Avery Elle, along with their banner dies. I finished off the card with some tiny butterflies, also punched out of Avery Elle’s patterned papers, and a sentiment from Paper Smooches.
Thank you, Deepti, for having me as your guest designer for August!
And here is her beautiful card!
Instructions
1. Use a banner die (I used Avery Elle’s Dotted Elle-ments) or cut by hand some banner flags out of patterned paper.
2. Attach a piece of twine or cord across your card.
3. Attach banners to the cord, letting some overlap a bit.
4. Punch out small butterflies from patterned paper and attach them to the banners and card.
5. Tie two bows out of cord and attach them to the ends of the banner.
6. Stamp desired sentiment.
Wow!! How awesome is your card! Love those banners and cute little butterflies.. Thank you so much Donna for being our guest!!
