Proud

Good morning, it's been a strange week with the 4th being mid week it's thrown all my days out. 

Speaking of Independence Day the moodboard challenge over at SumMore Fun is all patriotic this time round. 

So I have made a card using their Strokes of Pride stamp set which is a Raisin Boat set perfect for the challenge:

I stamped the stars using embossing ink onto shiny card and then embossed with clear powder. I then colored my card with blue ink, polishing it so the stars shone through.

next I used Stayzon ink to add the sentiments.

This was the matted with red card and added to a white card base, keeping to the red white and blue theme in the pictures of the moodboard.

Tic Tac Toe

Good morning! Memorial weekend looks as though it's going to be a hot one. We have nothing planned but a bit of yard work and enjoying the sunshine.

It's Friday which means that the new moodboard challenge over at SumMore Fun starts today and it's a great one for all you vintage lovers.

You can see the moodboard lower in the post but for now check out my interpretation of it:

I used the colors from the moodboard and the Raisin Boat Strokes of Pride stamp set  to make a tic-tac-toe square filling it with the letters from the U.S.A. stamp also in the set. It did take me a few attempts to get the letters stamped as I had to make sure I had only inked the required letter.

I matted a dark blue card with teal card. I then stamped the stripes from the stamp set into a grid on kraft card stock ensuring the squares were even. I then stamped the eagle in green, following the moodboard colors and added the letters in dark red. The kraft card was then adhered to my card base.

A simple card that did cause me some frustrations to make!
