Commissioned wedding banner

Now this is a new one for me.  I have made a couple of these banners before, but the most Triangles I have ever used has been 8.  The wording request for this banner was 'Congratulations Kayley & Tommy' with a picture of Mr and Mrs potato head at each end and then of course I have to put a space between the first 2 words.  That makes 30 triangles.  Cutting and making and decorating was no problem, managed to do it all in a day, but threading all this onto ribbon was an absolute nightmare!!  If I am ever asked to do another I will be splitting it into 2 I think!!  

Here are lots of photos for you to see but it was impossible to take a picture of the hole thing I am afraid, And please excuse the marks on my dining table, It was the only thing long enough to spread it out on but even then it was still in sections!!

the triangle at each end of the banner, the image is a colouring picture off the net! coloured with pro markers

DT project for OSAAT #108 'Use a digi'

Welcome to another challenge at OSAAT this week and the challenge is 

'USE A DIGI'

Our sponsor this week is

and the Stitchy bear freebie for spending $10 in the store is this collab

And here is my project

Now this is my 3rd banner with my new xcut triangles but my first one for the OSAAT Design team, so I hope you like it.  I have used backing paper from the 'birthday suprise papers' by Panda bear designs at the stitchy bear store and the whole of ' the audition ' silhouette set by stitchy at the stitchy bear store. I created the letters in my serif computer programme and added the silhouettes on top then printed them out, cut them out with xcut circle dies and layered onto nesties scalloped circles.  I have liquid pearled and added pink gems to decorate.

DT post for Forever night challenges #31 Bling

Challenge time again for team A at Forever night challenges and this time the theme is

' Bling '

Our sponsor this week is 'Tickled pink stamps'

http://www.tickledpinkstamps.com.au/

Here is my very first Halloween Banner

I hope you like it :o)

Oh my word this was hard to photograph in one go so I have created a collage for you to view it at a glance :o)

I have used Xcut triangle dies to create the banners and to cut the bearly mine freebie halloween papers, then I punched holes in the top of the triangles for the ribbon to go through

First 3 triangle banners

all the letters were printed on my computer using a free font (can't remember what site i got it from tho' sorry :o(  ) I have then coloured the inside with promarkers and cut them out to create circular frames

Last 2 banners

This fabulous Vampire image is called Lestat and he is awesome to colour, I have again used promarkers, then cut him out and attached to an oval frame which has been liquid pearled for some Bling effect!
