Happy New Year!

 

Maggi here today, to wish your a Happy New Year from all of us at Petaloo. My wish for all of you is that 2017 is a great year full of love, laughter, family and friends! 

I'm starting the New Year off with a colorful banner proclaiming the year 2017 featuring some of my favorite flowers and papers.  Darjeeling flowers have long been a favorite of mine and on this banner I've used mostly flowers from the Darjeeling collection.  (See my supply list at the bottom of the post).    I love bright and colorful so I chose to create my banner from Graphic 45's Off to the Races collection.

 

The pretty blue flowers are from the Penny Lane collection, all the others are Darjeelings.

 

 

I used Graphic 45's Staples tags to make the larger banner pieces.  The smaller banners I cut from design paper and topped each banner with a G45 diecut banner.

 

 I love layers and I often use diecuts to create my layers.  I love stacking the fun shapes on top of each other and then clustering flowers with the layers.

I tied the banner together with a long length of May Arts Canvas Ruler Ribbon and then I added the smaller banners with tiny clothespins.  Since you can NEVER have too many flowers, I glued some flowers to the ribbon too!
