December Project - Christmas Banners

This months project is to create a banner for Christmas....

EMY

I was inspired by a post from Hels on Bubbly Scrumptious a couple of weeks ago which included a lovely robin. I have three robins made from the Maya Road fancy bird mini book, with a page from the Maya Road Crown album at the top and a Tando 3D snowflake at the base. I've also used a Tando Christmas word, Maya Road Bethany alphabet and Maya Road Kraft doily. I'm feeling really Christmassy now!
 
The link to Hels' post I refered to is here....

I used some large Christmas bingo cards and cut them into banners. I backed them with decorative paper. I then made a rosette from sheet music patterned paper, adding a star, old glittery christmas decoration and a printed seasons greetings sentiment. To finish I added chipboard NOEL alphabets before inking all the edges.

I tied it all together with wide, wired ribbon.

As I have a few 'Christmas' word banners I thought I would use a different word & make a 'Santa' banner instead!  The letters have been coloured using Adirondack Earthtones in Red Pepper with Xmas Red Stickles patted over the top!  The papers are by Trimcraft sewn onto red Bazill.  I have sandwiched some white pom-pom braid inbetween.  Some glittery ribbons & brads finish it all off!

Merry Christmas!!
