Ah....LOVE is definitely in the air and I'm having a blast playing with all of beautiful shades of pink, red and cream.  They've been my go to colors for all of my recent projects and this one is no exception :D  I created a beautiful little banner that can be used anywhere you'd like to add little Valentine's Day decor:

To create this banner, I used my Cricut Pretty Pennants cartridge.   I cut the canvas using banner 1 at real dial size 7.25".

Next I spritz the canvas using a polka stencil and Tattered Angels Viva Pink Glimmer Mist.  Once the mist was dry, I randomly stamped the PWP Writing Cling Stamp and the Eiffel Tower with Stazon.  Then I ran each of the banners through my sewing machine, stitching along the edges with red thread.

This cute little lady is from the Princess stamp set.  I did some paper piecing on her skirt, colored with Primacolor pencils and highlighted with Stickles.  The heart is cut with the Cricut Accent Essentials cartridge and embossed with my Cuttlebug Swiss Dots embossing folder.  For some extra texture, I added white washed corrugated cardboard to the inside of the heart.

I added "ooh la la" and "Je Taime" from the Paris Stamp Set on each of the banners.

I cut all of the letters out of My Mind's Eye Lost & Found papers with the Cricut Script Font cartridge.  Each of the letter are cut at 5" and shadowed with black cardstock.

To dress up my banner, I added scraps of red fabrics and ribbon.  I also added some clear beaded trim and the banner is hanging on jute string.

I hope you liked my Valentine's Day Banner!  Be sure to head on over to Tara's Blog next, she has a BEAUTIFUL project to share that you won't wanna miss!!
