Another Name Banner with a Matching Card

Here's another name banner Katie made for a friend.  The letters were cut out with the Cricut cart Quarter Note (Font1) at 6 inches.  All four letters are the captial letter version.  The flowers are cut from the Mother's Day Bouquet in various sizes.



Katie made the ribbon herself using some Glimmer Mist and plain, white ribbon.  Glimmer Mist is a colored spray that adds a fine, glittery layer of color to a project.  As Katie demonstrates here, the Glimmer Mist looks great when combining multiple colors.
Jade enjoys the colors green and purple, hence the color selection.  Small half pearl embellishments were applied to the in the center of the flowers or as decorative accents on the card. 

The card was made from scraps of yellow and green cardstock inked with brown chalk ink to tie in the papers used to make the flowers.  Since a 12 year old is doing the decorating, the flowers were very simple- no inking, very little bending, etc.  However, it still made a lovely finish and I think Jade enjoyed her gift.
