Triple Banners

The Pals Paper Arts Challenge #256 provided inspiration for this card. I recently purchased Spectrum Noir colored pencils so this is my first time using them. I think I need a little practice.

















Three banners were cut from DSP in varying widths and lengths and trimmed up a little differently, The banners were adhered to gray cardstock strips, backed with craft foam for depth and adhered to the pink panel. A strand of pink sequins was adhered across the banners and three pieces of strand were left free to partner with the three banners. This was all adhered to the gray card base.


Three flowers were stamped on vanilla cardstock, colored with Spectrum Noir colored pencils and fussy cut. They were popped up on craft foam. Pink pearls were added to the flowers. The inside of the card was decorated with a panel of Very Vanilla cardstock stamped with coordinating flowers.

Be sure to visit PPP for great challenge fun!
