Three Minute Thursday Easter Blossom

Good morning! It's Thursday and time for another quick card from me. Today's design uses a feature that's pretty popular at the moment - the banner. They look fantastic in strings across cards and as sentiment tags but they also make excellent backgrounds. Come and see how I've used mine:

An outsized banner like this makes a great background for a pretty emblem like this flourished flower from the Easter Blossoms set. I chose tone-on-tone striped papers from the Patterns range to make mine.

I inked the flourish with one colour, added definition with a darker toned marker and finished with a gem. The flourish was cut out with a circle punch and mounted on a larger circle with dimensionals. Think of all the colours you could make this versatile card in!

Supplies needed for this card:

Stamps: Easter Blossoms, Teeny Tiny wishes

Ink: Marina Mist/Not Quite Navy or Perfect Plum/Elegant Eggplant

Card stock: Naturals Ivory, Very Vanilla, scraps of Not Quite Navy or Elegant Eggplant

Other: Patterns designer paper stack in Subtles, markers, 1 1/4" and 1 3/8" circle punches, square punch, Basic rhinestones, stamp-a-majig
