Good morning blog readers! We have a color challenge this week at Create with Connie & Mary. Banners are all the rage right now and I thought I would turn my whole card into a banner shape!

Below are the colors for this week:

My card:

My flower was created using the Blossom Punch. I cut out 4 using Island Indigo Cardstock and embossed all of them with the Lacy Brocade Textured Impressions Folder. Once all my layers were embossed, I scrunched up all the layers  into a ball and then unrolled the scrunchiness. Pile all 4 layers on top of each other. I then added a Vintage Faceted Designer Button in the center and used a needle and thread to attach the layers together. My final step to complete the flower was to spray the whole flower with Shimmer Mist:

The leaves were cut using the Autuman Accents Die and my Big Shot Machine and Lucky Limeade Cardstock. I embossed all the leaves using the Elegant Lines Textured Impressions Folder.

For the sentiment I stamped the happy birthday using Island Indigo Ink, Daffodil Delight Cardstock and the Teeny Tiny Wishes Stamp Set. I cut the sentiment out using the Modern Label Punch. I layered the sentiment with additional layers of Island Indigo Cardstock and the same punch shape. An In-Color Dahlia adorns one corner:
