Today’s Waltzingmouse Sketch challenge is a fun one, a banner over a big rectangle.
How fun is that? For my card I started by cutting banner pieces with MFT’s Banner Day Die die out of Hazel Stella & Rose My Mind’s Eye paper. The small strip on top was cut out of textured Basic Black cardstock. Before that piece was adhered to the triangle pieces, part of the border stamp from Victorian Frippery was stamped over it with Jet Black Archival Ink. Small holes were pierced at each end and the banner pieces were strung together with Fine Natural Burlap String.
The card base is a 4 1/4″ x 11″ piece of Kraft cardstock folded in half. The card front was embossed with Brocade Embossing folder and sponged with Frayed Burlap Distress Ink.
A 3 1/4″ x 4 1/2″ piece of Hazel paper was embossed with the same embossing folder and stitched to a 1/4″ bigger piece of black cardstock. The layers were adhered to the card base and the banner was adhered over the upper part of the rectangle.
More Hazel Paper was cut and embossed with a Fancy Tag die and stamped with a frame and sentiment from the Fancy Phrases set. It was adhered over a doily that had been cut smaller and sponged with Frayed Burlap ink. The layers were adhered to the lower right edge of the rectangle layer. Latte Kaisercraft Pearls were added in each corner.
A piece of dyed Seam binding I had left over from another project was rolled into a flower, topped with a Black Kaisercraft Pearl and adhered next to the image. A swirl cut out of textured black cardstock with a Sizzix die and a couple of leave cut with MFT’s Upsy Daisy Die-namics die were added to the left hand side of the sentiment panel to complete the card.
This was a fun sketch to play with. I hope you have time to try it out! Thanks for stopping by! Have a wonderful weekend. Hugs and smiles

So love what you have done here, love all the embossing and your special sentiment tag, I started making my first banner card last night and I ran out of time trying to figure out how I was going to hang it, I like your idea, may have to try that later, thanks for the inspiration!
