Give Thanks Banner

Here is a quick look at the Thanksgiving banner that is hanging over my fireplace.  I really like how it came out.  Very festive.

The papers used here is the Harvest Gathering stacks my DCWV, both the solid and pattern.  For the pennants, Lettering Delights has a nice SVG set for $2.  I cut five of the fish tale looking one.  Instead of folding them over the twine, I cut them in half.  I knew ahead of time I wanted the twine to go over the front of the lettering.  Why?  I needed to see the wonderful twine from my friend Lesley of Trendy Twine.  It is in Orange Truffle (yummy!), perfect for Thanksgiving or Autumn projects.

In Make the Cut, I brought in the “Give Thanks” text in Oklahoma font to the mat.  Then just made a simple shadow layer.  Then glue all three pieces together, punch holes for the twine and string them together.  Easy peasy lemon squeezee!

Oh, I have been on this making crinkle ribbon kick.  Do you see that lovely crinkly bow?  Yep, I made that myself.  Trust me it looks better in person.  I have been experimenting with various inks and techniques.  This was not my best colors, you should see the persimmon one I made.  So purdy!

Hope you enjoyed today’s project.  Come back tomorrow for some more Holiday crafts.  Happy Friday everyone!
