Moxie Fab World Shaped Sketch challenge

This week, Moxie Fab World is celebrating its newest issue called Card Ideas for Paper Crafters and it is full of sketches!  Here is the first sketch we have been given to play with:


Isn't it fun?  I was immediately drawn to it and here is what I came up with:


supplies: patterned papers from Cosmo Cricket, PinkPaislee, BoBunny, and Echo Park, The Craft's Meow stamp set "Baggin Some Rays", Hero Arts CL475 Friendly Flags, Adirondack cranberry and versafine onyx black inks, Nesties scalloped circle and circle dies

Once I had decided on the central sun, surrounding the circle with banners seemed the next logical step.  It measures about 6 inches across.
