Happy Fourth

Freshly Made Sketches is hosting Challenge #439 which I thought would be perfect for the new Club Scrap Vintage Americana flag stamp.  

I used Signme markers directly on the stamp itself and then stamped on paper. I just love how it turned out!

Color Throwdown is hosting Color Challenge #595 consisting of black, teal and white. To escape the heat this week I've been making cards with  my art orphans.  This background is made with black and white nail polish using a marbling technique. Each panel is a glorious surprise when you pull it from the water.

Paper Smooches is hosting a "You are Appreciated" challenge.  With last week being EMS Week I thought this would be a perfect opportunity to make some first responder cards. So grateful for all my co-workers. You guys are survivors!

Together Forever

Color Throwdown is hosting color challenge #594 using the beautiful combination of yellow, gray and white.

I love stamping with Faber-Castell Gelatos.  They are so rich and creamy and give a beautiful watercolor effect when spritzed with water.

Tuesday Morning Sketches is hosting Challenge #554. Circles always appeal to my craftiness so I was super excited to play with this sketch. Wanting to show off the embossed frame, I kept the design fairly simple.

Let Your Dreams Soar

Freshly made sketches is hosting Challenge #435 with a fun angled sketch.  This sketch would be perfect using paper scraps and/or washi tape.  When I was crafting with the new Club Scrap Fly A Kite collection the ribbons happened to be laying on top of each other.  Total inspiration for this card.
