Red, White, and Blue

Dear Ones:
Hope your Sunday is going well! I have 2 cards for you today. Both will be entered into the Mod Squad Challenge, which is to use red, white and blue on a card. The star card will also be entered into the Just Us Girls Challenge, which is to do the shaving cream technique. This was posted by my wonderful friend Sharyn. The vase of flowers card will also be entered into the StampTV MIUM Challenge, which is to make a card with at least 7 layers. The Mod Squad and MIUM Challenges have been posted by my dear friend Lee.

Here is my first card:


For this card I did the shaving cream technique. If you would like to watch a video by Gina K doing this technique, click HERE. It's a little messy, but oh, so much fun!!! After I used the technique to color the background, I took a piece of GKD Pure Luxury White Card Stock and cut out the 3 stars using a star die. Then I layered that over the background paper, which had been adhered to the white card base. A little embellishment, and I'm done. I used a punch for the starbursts, and some Judy Dots and star stickers. Oh, and some little Enamel Accent dots for texture all over the card front. This card will be entered into the Mod Squad Challenge and the Just Us Girls Challenge.

Here are the materials I used:
GKD Pure Luxury White Card Stock
Distress Reinkers in Barn Door & Faded Jeans
GKD Fanciful Tags Stamp Set
Red & Blue Card Stock from my Stash
Punch Bunch Starburst Punch
Star Dies from Life Style Crafts
Enamel Accents by Ranger


And this is my next card:


For this card I simply layered my patterned papers on top of some GKD Pure Luxury White Card Stock. I stamped the image on the white card stock with GKD Blue Denim Ink and paper pieced the vase. I think it has a real Asian flair, although I didn't start out to make it that way. This will be entered into the Mod Squad Challenge and the MIUM Challenge.

Here are the materials I used:
GKD Pure Luxury White Card Stock
GKD Flowers Bloom Stamp Set by Rupa Shevde
GKD Blue Denim Ink
DCWV Summer Dream Patterned Paper Stack
Martha Stewart Bird Punch
Enamel Accents by Ranger

So that's it for me today. It's been gorgeous here all week, but the mosquitoes are the size of dive bombers, and you can't stay outside very long. Hopefully they will die off with the hotter summer days. So nice to finally have the doors and windows open!! Thanks for stopping by my friends!!
