This week's CLEAN AND SIMPLE CHALLENGE is to use BANNERS.
So I pulled out my Martha Stewart Happy Birthday punch and used it differently than I have before. I stamped only in the center of the top white panel instead of all the way across. Then I carefully colored the letters. I punched another white piece and placed it behind the yellow and put it off to the side as a shadow. The yellow just looks more orange in this photo than it does IRL.
I watched how to make this banner on Martha Stewart one day. I folder my paper in half and cut my triangle then place it over the floss and glued together.
