CropChocolate.com Banner of a Blog Hop!

Hello Hello! Welcome to your 6th stop on the CropChocolate.com Banner Blog Hop! You should have arrived here from Julie's blog. If you just stumbled upon the blog hop, please feel free to join in and start here at Amber's blog! Visit all the design team's blogs along the way (I hear some of them are offering blog candy) and leave a comment at the final stop at the CropChocolate.com blog in order to be entered to win!

If you have been following along on the hop, then you know that we have a banner theme happening. I was pretty happy that Amber chose this theme, because I had seen a neat banner method on Pinterest that I had been wanting to try. Sometimes I need that extra to push to actual get around to trying things!

Without further ado, I present my banner card! (That's right, a card. Not usually what you think of when you hear 'banner').


Isn't she pretty?! Do you see why I wanted to try this banner technique? Pretty and easy!


See how the banner pops off the card?


I glittered the stamp so it is hard to read, but it says "congratulations" and "a dream come true."



I even prettied the inside. Although I am kicking myself for forgetting to ink the edges of the papers like I did on front. *sigh* I hope the bride and groom like it :)

If you would like to make a banner like this, the tutorial I found is at: http://nicholeheady.typepad.com/capture_the_moment/2012/01/make-it-monday-51.html .

Thank you for coming and looking! Your next stop is at Miwa's blog!
