Julie had some fun with a stamped stencil technique in yesterday's blog, but we've got a few more tricks up our sleeve!

Here is my page using the Cantina Party Time Stencil. I stenciled the colorful banner across the top of the layout and embellished it with black waxed linen thread.

Follow these steps for fabulous banner results:

1. Place a 12x12 White Floral Print on your work surface. Choose a banner shape from the stencil. Apply ink to the two matching shapes with Carnation Ink and a CS Ink Applicator.

2. Clean the stencil and slide the opening next to the first pair of banners. Add Ocean ink; clean the stencil again.

3. Slide the stencil to position the banners within the opening and sponge with Topaz ink.

4. Repeat until the banner extends in a curve across the page.

Enhance the banner with waxed linen using the following steps:

1. Pierce holes between each stenciled banner with a paper piercing tool and cork board.

7. For added interest, tie bows onto the stitching threads with additional waxed linen.
