BaNNeRs!!

It's a fun Mid-Month Throwdown at OWH-
make a card with banners,
and here are a few--

Scraps are great for banners--

such as these colorful pennants and fishtails on the card above

made from leftovers of an October Afternoon 8x8 pad.

I also like my banner stamps.

Here's a card using banner images from 

Hero Arts, along with the same

Papertrey Ink sentiment

This stamped banner card uses 

lots of different stamps--

 the Happy Birthday to You banner from Stampin' Up!

 and

a My Mind's Eye mini banner that I curved on the block

 I love the Mexican folk art of papel picado--

cut paper banners--

which Avery Elle made into a fun stamps set

that I used on this card

Banners can hang from the top of the card

or rise from the bottom, such as the

washi tape banners on this card

One large banner can anchor a focal point,

as in this card

And I probably most often use a banneras a place for a sentiment,

as in this card

Banners are such a versatile element, 

and I find myself using them a lot.

How about you?

Thanks for looking in!
