Final Banner - Or is It?

Now done my fourth and last challenge on Ready Steady Stamp for the banners but am toying with the idea of doing a fifth one.  Got to think of some elements to include which have not been used before.


These are the ingredients to be used this time.

I was a bit stuck with the Music Score but on searching through my stash I found some gorgeous paper which was more or less in the colours I had been using so that was a relief.



I already knew which Santa stamp I was gong to use as I love this Stampfrancisco image so I stamped and embossed him cutting the edges off to make a circle.  First of all I edged him with a Gold Dabber (not bright enough), went over this with a Gold Krylon (still not happy) and finally mounted on gold mirror card (using my Spellbinders circles).  Happy.

My torn paper was a simple piece of computer paper, 'scrumpled' up with Adirondack Rust, Terra Cotta and Ginger (each added after drying one off and then 're-scrumpling') and finally Encore Gold.  It was then ironed, torn and added.  The background looked a bit plain in comparison to my previous banners and so I stamped some raindrops on the background, masking out the music score.

I only had two stick on pearls so one went on Santa's hat and another on my sentiment which was one I had stamped in America at my friend Mary's.  My banner was complete, all elements added, but there was something else I had to do.  I added some German Scrap to the top as I felt when the four were put together the "Joy" one looked out of place.

So now I have to put them together in a "string" but first of all I think I will make it an odd number and do at least one more.  Watch this space!
