I decided to cut the card base down to 4" x 5 1/2" and then add the overhanging panel like I did on my CASology card. The banners were die cut from various Stampin Up! and PTI patterned papers in the ColourQ colors. I used one of my favorite PTI sets Harvest Berries and stamped the large gingko leave image on the grey cardstock using grey ink for a tone on tone look. The sentiment was also stamped in grey and I think in hindsight I should have stamped it in black. Oh well... live and learn! After stamping the sentiment I arranged the flags, adhered them and the adhered the entire piece to the card base. Pretty darn simple... but I like it!Thanks for stopping by...
Supplies: Cardstock: SU! Basic Grey; PTI white; Patterned Paper: PTI and Stampin Up!; Stamps: PTI Harvest Berries; Ink: Memento London Fog; Dies: My Favorite Things and Verve
