You should have reached my blog from Suzi's blog,
If you haven't been to Suzi's blog, please go back to the Challenge Blog (link above) and find the starting point - that's Suzanne's blog.
I just love to make banners. I was really busy with this one. I went with a Spring flower theme with lots of full sized Magnolia images, each hand painted. There's sweet little ladybugs, pretty papers, and bright card stock and ribbons. I did add raindrops to the first "S" after I took the photo. I hope you like my Spring Banner. There are lots of photos, so be prepared! LOL Here is a photo of the whole banner:
I used Spellbinder's Grand Circle and Grand Scalloped Circle dies for the flowers and my Cricut for the alphas. I didn't want to overwhelm the banner with flowers, so I just used them as accents here and there. Each image has been painted with watercolors, Inktense Watercolor Pencils, Distress Inks, or a combination of the coloring products. Here are some additional photos:
