So, a long time ago I happened to say yes to a lady who really really wanted a "cards" banner for one of her kids weddings a few years ago, some burlap and lace type thing. well, flash forward she came by my office and said I have this grand daughter Claire who is turning 13 next week and I really want a special banner for her, & she is a girly-girl. and so, I started trying to come up with an idea I decided I wanted it to look more random mix and match than perfectly matched and lots of soft colors. so I used this bench Cushion from the Grandinroad store as a jump start. This banner has about 6 yards of ribbon through it so, its pretty big for photographing in a "card" space and I got the lighting off a little too. so, hopefully you get the idea. and I have a few more photos I will do a blog post for the extra photos. thanks for this challenge Julie, & tfl. PS I already have about 5 hours into this and the Wink of stella is only on the Claire letters not the happy birthday and I debating adding some lumps to this but, I think this is what she wanted so... cross your fingers.
