Hello! I hope you are all having a wonderful celebration today with your friends and family! Even if you aren't in the U.S.A., I hope your day is fabulous. Instead of just a regular Scenic Sunday post, I thought I'd give you a picture and a project. Oh, and Angel Baby says Hi!
LOL, she's all about sticking out her tongue lately, HAHAHA! So, I recently discovered a new blog called
Simplicity that has a weekly challenge called "One Layer Wednesdays". This is exactly what I've needed to get myself trying things that are a little different than what I usually do with my cards. This week's challenge was to make a patriotic card and this is what I came up with:
It was a little difficult for me to make this card. I don't have any stamps that are geared toward Independence day, so I had to come up with something! I colored a white felt sticker with a red copic marker, stamped the blue lines stamp from TGF's Spotlight stamp set, and used some stars from a SU! set then colored those in with red. I added glaze in the stars to make them a little shiny, and finally I added faux stitching with a blue marker all around the edges of the card. This card sounds simple, but it took me forever! I really wanted to stretch my abilities, try something different than my normal style, that way I can also enter this into the
Raise The Bar challenge my blogging buddy,
Joni has going on! I love her challenge blog, but I never participate! So with this card, I am entering two challenges! Woohoo! Speaking of Joni, her awesome daughter, Maali, just graduated Kindergarten and is about to have a birthday! In celebration of these momentous events, Joni is having a
CANDY. Go to her
blog and check it out! Okay, I'm off to celebrate the festivities with a movie, some live bands, and lots of fun to be topped off with FIREWORKS of course! Have a wonderful day on Independence! Be blessed!
