Birthday Pennants

Happy Saturday! It's time for another challenge with Our Creative Corner - I hated to miss last week but we were traveling. This week our hostess is Jen Rzasa, who is challenging us to use embroidery floss. I used to cross-stitch so I have lots of this lying around - I often thread my buttons with it but I wanted to come up with something else. Todd suggested I should make a dentist card - my response was something along the lines of, "That's the wrong kind of floss, honey" - but for some reason after he said that, the image of a banner of pennants came into my head, so that's what I went with! I'm also submitting this for the CAS button challenge at Pals Paper Arts.

My colors came straight out of the Color Coach: Peach Parfait, Baja Breeze and Riding Hood Red. For a darker accent I added Chocolate Chip. After I stamped and cut out the pennants (from Party This Way) I added the stars (from Itty Bitty Bits) to the centers. The length of embroidery floss was glued to the back of the pennants, then I added the bows afterward. (Who knew it was so darn hard to tie bows out of embroidery floss?) The sentiment comes from the hostess set Something to Celebrate (in the occasions mini), and I added two bitty buttons backed with Baja Breeze card stock.

Be sure you check out what the rest of the OCC team has come up with for the challenge, and then get out your floss and play along with us! Hope you have a wonderful weekend!
