Today's Ways to Use It challenge is "Return of the Banner" - add any kind of banner to your card.
I remembered seeing a card on SCS using two banners - a hanging one and a horizontal one - and the Apothecary Art set which is ideal for horizontal banners across the middle of the image - perfect for the sentiment. I'm sorry - I don't remember whose card it is that gave me the idea.
I coloured the flowers with coloured pencils and had a scrap of dp that co-ordinated really well and just needed the "V" cut in the bottom. I heat embossed the sentiment with a slightly sparkly ep just to make it stand out from the image more. I mounted it all on an embossed layer that also co-ordinated really well - I love it when stuff from different companies comes together so well! It doesn't show up on the photo, but I added Stickles to the centres of the flowers.

Susan, this is BEAUTIFUL! Delicate, feminine and airy in feeling. Your apothecary label is so beautifully done and the embossed bg and yellow banner set it off perfectly.
