Went looking for challenges today and came across one at the Paper Players - to create a clean and simple project featuring banners. What great inspiration!
The Daffodil Delight Designer Series Paper was crumbled up and spritzed lightly with water, I also ripped a few tears along the edges. Then I used a bone folder to mostly flatten the designer paper. For the banner a piece of Whisper White Baker`s Twine was threaded through the punched pennants and then arranged on the card.

Supplies
Stamps: Pennant Parade, Curly Cute
Ink: Pumpkin Pie, Pacific Point, Rich Razzelberry, Old Olive, Daffodil Delight
Paper: Daffodil Delight, Whisper White, Brights Designer Series Paper
Accessories: Rhinestones, Petite Pennants Punch, Square Punch, Whisper White Baker's Twine
