Red, White and Blue

Hello!  Thanks so much for stopping by.  Welcome to week 1 of the Red, White and Blue linky challenge at Craftin Desert Divas.

 

Red, White and Blue!!  Home of the Brave is what those colors represent to me.  I started off by printing the July Bear digital image from the Craftin Desert Divas store.  I then colored with Spectrum Noir markers and cut with my Brother Scan N Cut. 

 

With the party die set, I cut two balloons in patriotic paper I purchased at Walmart.    I used the Flag Banner die set to stop and emboss Home of the Brave (from Celebrate Freedom).  These banner dies have become a staple in my crafting.  To create some layers in the card I used the brand new Crazy Stitched Frames, Picture Frame and Stitched Circles.

Heartfelt Creations Botanic Orchid

 

Hello!  Thanks so much for stopping by

 

I am so very behind on sharing creations I have made, but this Happy Birthday card made with the Botanic Orchid collection from Heartfelt Creations is stunning.. if I don't say so myself.  This is a brand new release from Heartfelt and I love to purchase mine from Create and Craft.. They always release about a week early and I love to have my hands on it ASAP.. 

 

For this card, the size is 5.5 x 5.5.  I used green cardstock for my orchids.  In the stores you see so many different color orchids, I figured why not.. Since the card was for someone who loves green.  I used Green Momento ink to stamp and then once shaped (make sure to watch Heartfelt Creations newest video on shaping the orchids) I used it on the edges a bit for some added definition.  I also added in a bit of pink .. just because the rest of my card was pink.  I also added some shimmer mist, but the photo does not pick that up.

 

The corner die is from Heartfelt Creations as well.  I used some brilliance pink to add some random highlighting.  The background paper is from the Orchid paper pack.. I then took some Lindy's Stamp Gang mist and flicked.  I then curled up the edges and tore some places to make it look not perfect. 

 

Happy Birthday is from Cas-ual Fridays.  This die was a part of a Stamp of Approval collection from Catherine Pooler.   To finish off the card, I placed a few pink dew drops for that finished look.

 

I am in love with the card.. In person it is stunning.   Thank you Heartfelt Creations for another stunning flower.  I will be trying the daffodil as well.. that will come from this very same collection.

 

Happy Crafting!
