A Technique Tuesday & Disney Little Mermaid Banner Layout

Hello there!  Today I have a layout to share that I created for Technique Tuesday with a focus on their fun and versatile banner dies. Company owner Bev Grey has created a quick little video showcasing some of the many ways you can use these dies on their website HERE.


For this layout I wanted to have the banners take center stage so I used a white on white approach for my background.  I die cut two border strips from white cardstock on my Silhouette and THIS polka-dot print to mimic the look of bubbles.  I love the texture and extra detail it gives my project without adding a lot of visual distraction.


For my banners I decided to cut them in a variety of aquas and lavenders to compliment my photo and layer them in an offset pattern to create the look of the Little Mermaid's scales.  I then stamped them with the coordinating banner stamp, using it as a guide to pierce holes for my hand stitching.



These stamps and dies are a lot of fun and are a great staple to any crafter's arsenal.  To create my layout I used the following products:

Other coordinating banner stamp sets include:

Thanks for stopping by.  :)
