Star Banner Tutorial, with Jennifer Hodge

Hello there again!
Here is a fantastic tutorial by Jennifer Hodge.
A Star Banner!
I recently created this banner for Riley - he is definitely star material! Each part of the banner represents a different part of him or something he likes/enjoys.
 

To cover the chipboard stars with the white patterned paper I covered them in pva:
I used my speedball to push out airpockets and excess glue.
I then cut around them with my craft knife.
Then I coloured them with Distress Stains and wiped off any excess with a tissue.
The silver embossed stars are resistant to the colour...
Then I filed the edges:
Punched the hole with my eyelet punch:
I used my Distress Stain to colour my white ribbon and again the embossed stars resisted the colour - and then I hung them to dry overnight. I was afraid I'd get too excited trying to dry them with a heat gun and melt the ribbon!
Once I'd painted the car red I used black liquid pearls on the tyres, and orange and yellow for the flames:

I coloured in the island chipboard with paint and distress stains. I used liquid pearls to give dimension to the grass and the palm trees, and age and deterioration to the treasure chest, and adding the skull n crossbones charm to finish it off. I used crackle paint for my sand to give texture:

Figuring out how to hang all the stars on the ribbon was probably the hardest part as I wanted them to all be attached differently! The key to getting it right is working out the spacing, pinning to hold the spot and allowing for movement when hung - and thinking about if it will be hung tightly or loosely...

Congratulations if you are reading as you managed to get all the way through - well done!! I'd love to see your banner so be sure to go to the Twiddleybitz Ning and upload yours to the gallery so I can see it too!!
Thanks for joining me :-)
