For this layout I used the 7 Dots Studio papers.
I matted my photo, cut out the large banner and inked the edges.
Next, start adding some layers, I used some hand made paper, burlap, a doily, cards from the kit, paper from the kit and some cardboard that I put gesso on.
I made some mini banners and inked the edges and attached these.
I then started to decorate.

I hope you like the finished result.
