ODBD January Challenge

Kristina Werner posted a terrific pennant card on her blog last week, and I knew I had to give it a try. You can find her post here. Her "Friday Focus" series will be focusing on Valentine's Day cards for the next few weeks.

This is my second attempt. The first one was a mess because the string I have is stiff, and it made a gluey mess when I tried to adhere it to the card. I solved that problem by folding the pennants over the string and adhering the string behind the card front. Each pennant piece is adhered with a pop dot.

This card is my entry for the ODBD Challenge on the Stars & Stamps Blog for January. You can read more about that here.

    I love pennant cards and yours is great! I never would've chosen orange for the background...orange scares me lol.

    I love your clean layout, Dixie! And what an innovative way to use 3 different patterned papers...I've been thinking about it all day and hadn't come up with anything quite as creative. :-)
