Happy Memorial Day weekend to my American friends! Today, the Girl-Friday's are bringing you a patriotic inspiration parade! This week's challenge over at CAS-ual Fridays has us making red, white and blue our main focus, won't you play along?
For my card, I started by die cutting one of Lifestyle Craft's nested star dies from my white panel. I then double die cut a larger star from red cardstock, and adhered it with foam over the negative space.
Taking a navy card base, I white heat embossed a little star, and after stamping my sentiment, I popped the panel up onto my base with foam. The sentiment is actually two differnt ones from Avery Elle's Handwritten Notes set, but I did a bit of selective inking to bring these words together. To finish it off, I added a few rhinestones.
I do hope you play along with us! The prize up for grabs this week, is a $25 gift certificate to Simon Says Stamp! Thanks so much for stopping by!

Wow - this just goes POP! Love the touch of bling and that teeny touch of embossing is perfect!
ReplyDeleteI recently purchased a copy of Stamp It! #9 and absolutely love your cards in it - having happy moments paging through that on this end.
(thanks for your well wishes, HUGS!)
Lovin' the die cut stars and that sentiment....need it!
ReplyDeleteI saw this in CASual Friday's gallery and was immediately drawn to it but didn't realize it was yours until I stopped by your blog. I was going to do something similar as soon as my star dies arrive.
ReplyDeleteLove the layers of the card -- and the bling adds just the right amount of sparkle. TFS!
