I was inspired by the June 30 Simon Says Stamp Monday challenge and decided to join in and make a red, white and blue card. I looked through my craft supplies and pulled out products and tools to get creative.
I used three coordinated colors of scrapbook paper by My Mind's Eye. I used the bold pattern for the background panel and layered it onto white card stock. I cut the red and lighter blue papers along with a piece of white card stock using the Papertrey Ink rick rack die. I used a scalloped circle punch to cut the red paper to layer with the candles. I used white card stock and die cut the candles using the Sizzix candles #2 die. I colored the candles with colored pencils and added a bit of shimmer with Recollections glitter glue. The sentiment is an image from a $1 dollar stamp set from Michaels - remember those mini stamp sets, lol! I used Memento Lady Bug ink to stamp the word, and I was surprised that the ink wasn't dry - I'm sure I've had it for over 10 years! I cut a piece of enchanted evening card stock, by Papertrey Ink, for the card base and adhered all elements together to finish a 4 1/4" x 5 1/2" card.
Happy crafting!
