How this example was done:

 

First step – Background.  This is simple dark blue, medium blue and a touch of white paint, on a nearly dry brush that I scrubbed into my page.  I set it aside to dry.

Second step – Banner. Scribble – I scribbled color on to my watercolor page. Blend – then I used a wet brush in diagonal strokes to blend the colors into stripes Template – I drew the banner shape onto the back of the paper and cut them out String – I folded the tabs over a string and glued them down Attach – I used glue to attach the banner to the page, letting it hang off the edges.

Third step – Journaling – it says: as warm winds caress and new buds grow, let banners fly so all will know
