Shabby Chic Banner by Heather Thompson

This month Creative Embellishments is teaming with Rinea Foils to bring some amazing projects this month. And Nicolle has a ton of new products, stencils and stamps in the store. So I got to play and make this fun banner.

Using the Fishtail Banner and the Triangle Banner I originally want to make a Spring Banner, but as I was gathering all my supplies, I ended up transforming into more of a shabby chic Banner.

Here is a short video of the creative process.

I used the new Flourish Stencil 3 and the New Harlequin Stencil on the background. Even though I end up covering most of these up, I Enjoy the fine details of the texture.

After the background was finished, I had choose chipboard that complimented the paper. The background paper had stitches and harlequins in the background so I choose the ZigZag Stitch Boarder and the Distressed Harlequin Pieces.

To accentuate the shabbiness of the project, I made the doilies with some matching foils from Rinea, I layered the foils chipboard and fussy cut elements form the paper packs. And then topped some of the banners off with the Mini Dress Forms.

I finished up the banner with some dry brushing and some microbeads to fill in the little holes and blend the project better. Each little banner has a inspirational quote to add to the shabby chic feel of the project.
