   Pop out the banner piece from the die-cut foliage. Separate the small circle centre piece from the banner, leaving the four petals attached to form a decorative element. Optionally, cut a circle from contrasting cardstock in silver, gold, or an alternative shade to create a plaque effect for the centre of your banner.

Tips from the show

• The foliage comes from the sides of the banner, creating a natural, flowing design.
• The banner works in both landscape and portrait orientation due to its fluid design.
• You can use the leftover die-cut pieces as stencils to add foliage details to card backgrounds.
