Boo! Banner

 I have one more Halloween Post to share with you today!

 Today, I'm excited to share these cute Boo! Banner. My banner features the Hallow-Ba-Boo Paper Pack from FlipAppeal Designs by Jenn Aguilar and I combined it with dies from Elizabeth Craft Designs and Ink from Ranger Ink. 

To start, we will create the B Banner. You'll need the black & green slime paper along with the purple patterned paper. Die cut a 4 1/2" Stitched Fishtail out of the black & green slime paper. Die cut a 4" Stitched Fishtail out of the purple patterned paper. Fussy cut three small bats out of the bat paper. From the ephemera and label paper, fussy cut the large resting witch bottle, pink bottle with skull, cauldron and ghoul. Die cut a B out of white cardstock and ink it using Carved Pumpkin Distress Ink and a blending tool with foam. Distress the edges of both fishtails. 

Adhere the two fishtails together. Use adhesive and foam squares to adhere the bottles, ghoul and cauldron to the left side of the fishtail. Adhere the B to the right of the large bottle. Use foam squares to adhere the three bats amongst the B and images. 

Next, we will create the O Banner. You'll need the green striped paper and the green bubble patterned paper. Die cut a 4 1/2" Stitched Fishtail out of the green striped paper. Die cut a 4" Stitched Fishtail out of the green bubble patterned paper. From the ephemera and pumpkin paper, fussy cut eleven pumpkins out. Die cut a O out of white cardstock and ink it using Carved Pumpkin Distress Ink and a blending tool with foam. Distress the edges of both fishtails. 

Adhere the two fishtails together. Use adhesive and foam squares to adhere the pumpkins as desired in the middle bottom portion of the fishtail. Adhere the O to the top right side of the pumpkins. 

Now, we will create the O! Banner. You'll need the black & green slime paper along with the purple patterned paper. Die cut a 4 1/2" Stitched Fishtail out of the black & green slime paper. Die cut a 4" Stitched Fishtail out of the purple patterned paper. Fussy cut three small bats out of the bat paper. From the ephemera paper, fussy cut three bottles out. You'll need to die cut the O & ! out of white cardstock and ink them using Carved Pumpkin Distress Ink and a blending tool with foam. Distress the edges of both fishtails. 

Adhere the two fishtails together. Use adhesive and foam squares to adhere the bottles to the right side of the fishtails. Adhere the O & ! to the left of the bottles. Use foam squares to adhere the three bats amongst the bottles and O & !.

To finish the banner, punch two holes at the top of each banner. String black twine through the holes of each banner.

Here are a few closeups of the finished banner.
