This week the colors are Ruby, Outdoor Denim and Colonial White. I started with a Colonial White card base (4.25" x 5.5"). We have a great deal with our Value Pack! You get 50 cards and envelopes for only $14.95 and you have a choice of White Daisy or Colonial White!
I created a background of Ruby and Outdoor Denim lines by Block Stamping. Using the edge of a 2" x 6.5" My Acrylix block I just tapped it on the ink pad then stamped it on the card base. For the flag I also used the block idea. I inked up a 2" x 2" block in Outdoor Denim and stamped it on a piece of Colonial White cardstock. For the Ruby stripes I inked up the edge of a block but this time leaned it a bit to catch more ink. Then I placed it on the cardstock and pulled it down a bit to get a wider line. All that was left to do was stamp a message, add some flowers and put some bling in the flowers centers and flag.

ReplyDeleteThank you so much, Cheryl!
DeleteMichelle, I love the contrast between the distressed look of the flag and the crispness of the flowers. Very pretty!
