Birthday Banner

Love this sketch as part of the Sketchy Thursday's spring blog hop!

And one of the challenges on Scrappin' N Chattin was to use a banner :) Perfect!

I used a pic from my Aunt's surprise 50th birthday party. Loved the offsetting photo mats. I cut mine at 9 inches.

I used a star in place of the flower to coordinate with my patterned paper. I inked all the edges in black to bring it together and give it a darker touch since the photo is dark, too. Thanks for looking!
