Abra's banner was simpler in some ways and more complicated in others.
For Abra's banner I made the letters and butterfly image entirely in Adobe Illustrator and then printed each letter and mounted them to pink card stock. I also strung the letters with different colored ribbons. It came out beautiful, but a lot of work.
So for Etsy I decided not to back them in card stock and just string them with a single ribbon color. However for Etsy I also decided to hand draw all the artwork and only do the background and letter in illustrator. This extra step has proved more time consuming.
So far I have designed two custom banners and despite the work it has been fun. The first was a modified butterfly banner with new colors. I thought it came out nice.
The second one I am still in the middle of.....but here is a preview.

It has a new theme ....SURFBOARDS.....which is good because now I have some more boy friendly artwork. Having two girls and being a girl has definitely effected my work.

They are all very nice! lovely!
What separates your work from other customized banners out there is the attention to the littlest of details you put in each of them. It's so great to see your efforts, coupled with your artistry, produce such eye-pleasing banners. Thank you for the treat, and best of luck on your future projects!
