Fitztown Banners and Pennants

So are we up for a new challenge? Over at Fitztown the latest challenge is to use a banner or pennants on your project. I took this opportunity to use a Morgan Fae World new release image Mystical Fae 2. Here is what I have created to hopefully inspire you.

Card Tip:

Small Flowers
Step 1 - punch out 4 to 5 flowers using a mini 15mm flower punch
Try and use card stock or paper that will bend easily.
Step 2 - use a strong liquid glue - I used Tombo mono muli liquid glue and stick each flower on top of each other offset.
Step 3 - once the glue has tried scrunch the top flower into a bud shape. Then fold all the flowers up and around the bud, slowly feather the different layers out until you are happy with the overall look.

Anniversary Centre Step Card

Here is my last Guest Designer Card for Fitztown. The Challenge today is A Step Card. I feel a step card is for something a little bit special so I have created a 40th wedding  anniversary card for my aunt and uncle. This is also a first for me and I have loved how Fitztown has been constantly challenging me to try new card layouts and concepts as their guest designer, it has been a great experience.

Card Tip:

Here is a great tutorial and video to follow for the step card process.

Firsts

I have a couple of firsts to announce today. You will probably notice I have a new badge on my sidebar, I have been accepted as the newest member of the Perfectly Rustic Design Team -Wooo Hoooo. My first inspiration card will be for the first year anniversary so stay tuned for that one.
The other firsts are related to my card, My mum is turning 60 which is pretty monumental so I thought she needed a card that was pretty special. I saw this image and thought my mum would love it. Its called Women with Gardenia and Pearls and it is my first Aurora Wings image I have used. This is also the first spring card I have attempted.
