Celebrate card

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!
