Happy Wednesday, Friends! I’m back again today to share another fun way to utilize pennant images on your projects. This time, it is a pennant stamp set from Studio Calico.
Turning the points inward, I created a flower using two different stamps and ink colors, and then topped it with a layered brad. This floral accent makes a great compliment to the wild owl my Morgan painted the other day at the pottery store when we were on a little Mom/Daughter date.
I want you to know it almost took her 3 hours to paint this little thing. Feel my pain. I love her but there was a point where I wanted to poke my eyes out. Ha! Me, on the other hand, I painted a little chili bowl that I’m going to use as a planter. It needed to be sealed and fired so I don’t have it yet to share.
For added texture, the background of this layout is just strips of paper layered, stitched, and then folded up. I’ve done this before with one or two strips of paper, but never the whole background. I have to say I love the look and plan to do that again. In the interest of inspiring you, I created a new technique inspired myself! I love that about art.
I hope you have a great day! I’ll see you back here on the 15th with the next Colour Suite combo and my Project 12 layout! Have you picked out a sketch? Have you been gethering memorabilia and playing along? I hope so! Check out this post for a Project 12 recap!
See you on the 15th!

I think her owl is cute. What a great idea for hanging out as Mom and daughter.

Love the burned wood look of the frame. Very crafty feeling.

You're an awesome mom, no doubt about it! You should definitely be receiving the biggest glitter covered heart that ever there was for Valentine's Day (which would personally send me screaming since I.hate.(school).glitter!
Fun LO! Your folded and stitched paper technique adds such wonderful texture and I love your idea for how to use the banner stamps in a different way! TFS!
