Festive Holiday Banner

Hi all! It's Ginny here to share a fun and festive holiday banner. The process was fraught with quite a few glitter mishaps : (  Is it that way for everyone or just me???? I swear the second I get the glitter tube out I'm all thumbs!  I'm cautiously optimistic that I may eventually get it all cleaned up.  It was all worth it in the end though....because I love this banner : ) 

I started with a base of a Graphic 45 tag book....just the pages. Layers and layers of patterned papers, big gimongous glittery letters, and all kinds of fun embellishments. I also used all  the images from my Vintage Halloween Tags Digital Collage Sheet.

The Black Gingham, Black Licorice Bakers Twine and Orange Mesh coordinated perfectly with the vintagyness. I also added the Black Webbing for detail and dimension. 

Paper rosettes and orange flowers work to dress up the images.  I also did quite a bit of inking and Stickling. Notice the hangers???? I found those while at a big box craft store. Someone had dumped them in the checkout. Clearance $.99 . They had come from the curtain dept and were meant to pinch the tops of the fabric. Score for me!!!!! I added a bit of the trims to hide some of the metal.

Here it is hanging on the hutch in my kitchen. I used a black feather boa to string it on. Not the cheapo kind from the dollar store....the nice kind from the craft store.....does it scare anyone but me that I know the difference???? LOL I'm not quite finished filling in all my vintagy Halloween goodies...there's a whole lot more....but that will have to wait for morning. I hope you all have a happy and productive day and find some time to be creative : )Huggs..Ginny
