Fall Harvest Banner

To add to my Fall and Halloween home decorations I wanted to make the Harvest Banner that was pictured in the Autumn/Winter Idea Book 2012 for CTMH.

In making this banner I used some of the new Alcohol markers from CTMH. I colored the leaves with the markers. They work so smoothly when coloring in a stamped image. The markers come in a two pack.  One maker is the base color and the second marker will be a lighter or darker shade of the base color. You get some built in shading right away using both markers. Before using the markers I stamped all the images in Cocoa Pigment ink. Using Pigment ink is the only ink that will not run when coloring with the markers. Although you because Pigment ink takes a while to dry you either need to use a heat gun to dry the image or let it air dry before coloring.

To cut the banner pieces, letters and the decorative strips on the banner I used the Artiste Cartridge and the following images.
