Now the fun part begins!  Blending.  Blend the 5 distress oxides into separate sections of the white cardstock flag backing.  This is to give it mottled effect.  When you glue down the brown cut out banner you will see that the colors peek through with a beautiful effect.  Once you have your image ready, adhere the wreath circle onto the front of the image with glue. 

Using  a gold Metallic Marker, I light the leaf stems rather than using the cut outs.  Using liquid glue adhere the leaves to the image.  Begin to build the acorns and adhere them down over the leaf bunches as depicted below. 

Hole punch each corner of the top corner of the banner.  Then, using foam tape adhere the image piece to the center of the banner. 

I chose to use a brown twine because it just felt right to match the colors.  Thread the twin through the hole punches and tie it with a bow.

Now your all set o hand up your banner on a wall, a window or maybe even attach it to a banner set.
