Queen of Hearts Banner Swap!

Queen of Hearts Banner Swap! This is my banner design for the Queen of Hearts Garland Banner Swap, that I am hosting! There are 4 slots left in the banner swap!

The pieces were made using paper from my scrapbook line, cupie doll from my embellishments line, crepe paper, pom pom garland, embellishments, trims, ribbons, felt, glitter and paint.

I will make 11 more of these for each banner!

All 12 participating artists will make 12 of the same banner pieces for the swap, the result will be a Queen of Hearts themed banner made up of 12 different components of artwork revolving around this theme. The pieces will be attached to a main ribbon and be accompanied by a few extra surprises that I will top it off with, then sent back to the individual!

Come join the swap, deadline to sign up is in a few weeks, however , slots are filling so that deadline could be sooner!

I do have some supplies available in my artfire and etsy stores to make your banners, The flat back Cupie full size dolls, Cupie Heads, etc, I made here are available, if you would like some to use in your banners check my stores or contact me for ordering some. The cupie heads range in price from: $4.95 for a pack of 5 to $5.25, the full size dolls range in price from: $5.95 to $6.95


Magic and Joy,
Lisa!
