Good morning everyone....I hope you are all having a wonderful Memorial Day!!! First I want to thank all our soldiers...active duty, retired and their families....for sacrificing so much for our freedom!!!! We are soooo blessed to live in the USA!!!!
We had our family here on Saturday for some good food and lots of fun with the grands. Now it's time for a little stamping!!! This is my last Monday post as the May Artist of the Month for Our Craft Lounge. I have really enjoyed my Monday's posting on the Our Craft Lounge blog and sharing my OCL creations with you!!!.
I decided to play along with the Our Craft Lounge Friday challenge *You're a Grand Old Flag*.
My card features stamps from OCL's Patriotic Parade....they were colored with Copics and punches were used for the stars. They were embossed with the Dotted Swiss folder and adhered with foam dots. The sticker banner and the button with twine finishes it off.
Recipe:
Stamps: Patriotic Parade
Paper: Real Red, White, Brilliant Blue, Patterned Paper from Creative Imaginations
Ink: Memento Tuxedo Black
Accessories: Button, Sticker Banner from Creative Imaginations, Baker's Twine, Dotted Swiss Embossing Folder
This is also for a few other challenges:
1. One stitch at a Time - red, white, and blue
2. Crafty Pad Designs Challenge - colors of the flag
3. Craft Your Days Away - red, white, and blue
4. Stamp, Scrap, and Doodle - stars and stripes
5. Charisma Cardz Challenge - no flowers allowed
Thanks Kendra, Cami, and the Our Craft Lounge DT for inviting me to join you this month....it has been such a wonderful experience and I have had so much fun creating with Our Craft Lounge stamps.!!!
