I paired It's a Banner Day with Friendship Blooms and created a little flower bouquet behind the banner. I stamped the stems in Lime Pastel Fluid Chalk ink and added a few blossoms which I cut out with the matching Friendship Blooms die - the banner was stamped in Rose Coral Fluid Chalk and the sentiment layered over it in Aquamarine Fluid Chalk ink. The papers and buttons are part of the Pixie-Licious collection from Cosmo Cricket. Instead of using scallops for the border, I used the new Picket Fence Border die and added some leaves from the Leafy Branch die underneath.
It's a Banner Day is a set which Iwona Palamountain {you may know her as the brilliant Chupa} brought to life and it is the first in a series of 3 banner sets, which all have their own coordinating die - lovely! She'll be helping us showcase these sets over the next 3 months.
