Laura Achilles has such a talent with adding stamped elements to her scrapbook pages. This layout is titled "Classic Beauty". I love how she picked up the red from her daughter's dress and made smaller red accents on the page, but kept most of the background soft and warm with creme tones. It's hard to see the all the beautiful details in this full image photo, but keep reading below for some close-ups and see how Laura made the banner embellishment for this layout.
Material List:
Big Banner with Rosettes
Ric Rac Circle
PP – October Afternoon, MME, Making Memories, Crate Paper
Chipboard- American Crafts
Letters – American Crafts & Basic Grey
Embellishments – Prima
To create the banner, use the rosette images from Big Banner with Rosettes stamp set and stamp two different images multiple times.
Use two different punches to punch out alternating circles. I used a circle and a scalloped circle punch to alternate.
Fold over the circles in half.
For dimension and depth use pop dots to secure the ends together. I used Zap Dots by Helmar USA.
Adhere your banner to your project.
To finish it off stamp smaller rosette circles, punch them out and adhere them between each half circle.

this is really beautiful Laura.
