Hello again! It's time for a new Color Challenge at Splitcoaststampers and I am hosting this week. In honor of Independence Day, I chose Real Red, Blueberry Bushel and white or vanilla with a dessert option of an Americana or July 4th theme.
I didn't have any stamp sets with Americana or celebrating Independence Day so I remedied that recently by acquiring a really cool grunge flag image.
The flag stamp is 4x6" so I stamped it on a slightly larger panel of Very Vanilla card stock with the red and blue inks, then trimmed it down slightly to 3 3/4" x 5 3/4", then distressed the edges. Next I die cut the word "happy" and the number 4 three times, adhered together then covered with a shimmer pen then crystal glaze. While those dried I wrapped the stamped image with jute twine and adhered to a Desert Storm card base. I searched my sentiment stamps to fin the right size birthday stamp, stamped it in red ink, then trimmed down the "th" to be added behind the 4.
Thanks for visiting, it's always so appreciated! I've added a link to SCS above, so I hope you'll check it out and join us for the Color Challenge this week!
