Hi again and welcome to March's first Papertrey Ink group post. We are showcasing the new Bountiful Banners stamp set and coordinating dies today. We were asked to begin with a bit of inspiration to spur us on.
(Via Pinterest)
I have two photos that inspired me while creating my projects for you, both in the same color combination, mint, cream, shabby peachy-pink, and gold. I loved the soft floral inside these shoes, the gold hearts dangling from the bows, and of course, their minty-ness.

I complimented the Bountiful Banners stamp and die set with the Love & Marriage and Heart Prints stamp sets, and the Fabulous Frames die collection.
I began with a card base of Sweet Blush and then added Linen Vellum as my second layer. The heart image, arrow, and sentiment were all embossed in gold embossing powder with the tiny heart stamped on Sweet Blush embossed with white embossing powder. The banner was cut from Rustic Cream cardstock and stamped in Classic Kraft ink.
A few finishing touches such as vintage trim, Vintage Cream twill, and Mint Chevron washi tape were added to bring in more color and softness.
I created a tag to coordinate using Linen Vellum and the Tag Sale #3 die, and the same products as used above with the addition of the Heart Border die used across the bottom of the tag. I also used a filigree border image from the Love & Marriage stamp set stamped just above the heart border which I embossed using Zing Blush embossing powder.
I just fastened the tag to a Large Linen Drawstring Bag that I embellished with a bit of vintage trim...makes for a sweet package for someone special.

Your card and bag designs are fabulous! I adore both of the. From the pretty bkgrd paper to the glittered banner, emb heart, lace, pop of mint, etc ... the card is a beauty. The bag dressed in lace with the lucious layered tag is terrific, as well. :)
