Summer Hanging

 
A little banner fun!  I love when I get asked to play with paper.  I made this as a display at my LSS.  Classes wind down for summer but we still want to keep everything paper filled with fun projects.  Banners always look so festive.  I hung this over my hot tub hoping it would pop!  Taking photo's of banners can pose a challenge. 
 
I used some nautical paper and the banner cut from birthday bash cartridge.

 
I layered a bunch of Sizzix dies, the movers and shapers round cuts, the snowflake rosette and my awesome mini antlers.  A little masculine touch!
 

I thought I could get away with the snowflake rosette for summer and it worked!

I cut "SUMMER" with my new Vintage Market XL Die from Sizzix on grungeboard.  Awesome having this font for bigger cuts.

I watercolored the mini blueprints 6 summer refreshments, fussy cut and attached to dangle.

I coated the vintage market letters in faded jeans distress glitter.

The summer theme all comes together!

 
Wow, as always thank you for the encouragement and support!  I have been working hard to have better "Blogger Karma", entering challenges and keeping on top of posting.  Especially this time of year as I become more outdoorsy and less crafting.  I love reading all the sweetness you leave behind.  Much Love!

    I love banners too Nicole and this one is fabulous with lots of gorgeous details. Thanks for displaying it aboard a Vintage Journey, I can just imagine it decorating one of those old steam train carriages or on a station platform welcoming in a special visitor. Great job xx

    Oh, I just love a good banner! (And I agree...they are the very devil to photograph, but you did a great job!) This one welcomes Summer with style! I love all the fun extra images you added, and I think the snowflake rosettes resemble fireworks. Super fun! Thanks for joining us at Craft Hoarders Anonymous Challenge #9: Fold it!

    How very very fun!!!! The moose antlers had me laughing (growing up in Maine we saw them everywhere, but not so much now).
    I just love what you did.

    Oh Nicole what a fabulous banner! Love that you are putting those antlers to such good use and that you've shown a snowflake is not just for Christmas. Just a tad jealous of the hot tub too :) Thank you so much for joining us at A Vintage Journey. Jenny x

    Such a fun banner!!
    I love the treats dangling from each banner piece.
    Summer is a busy time for us Canadians as we try to pack as much in to this season as it is so short.
    As for challenges I keep meaning to enter more of them, but when I do make a card or project for it, I forget to link it, lol.
