I was a lucky recipient of the Basic Grey Curio collection via SRM Stickers. Curio is a gorgeous line of alluring patterns and regal colors. The botanical and aviary themes of this line are the inspiration points for my butterfly banner. I used SRM Stickers' Sticker Sentiments - Fall (51012) for this banner.
This banner took me an entire weekend completely ignoring the kids to finish. Then the really hard part began: photographing it! Every day I get home from work, I rush to photograph it one way or another. It took me seven days of hanging it at various places to get the following pictures. At this point, I just hope the close-ups do some justice to the number of hours I spent, lol.
I have a video of making a butterfly piece like this coming. I hope I will get it done before Thursday. Until then, have a great week!
