Patriotic challenge
This week at Less is More, the challenge is to use colours of your nation's flag. I love red and white together- it always looks so clean and classic. So, to pay tribute to the True North Strong and Free, here are my cards...
I love this stamp set. I can't remember whose it is. (edited to say it's Inkadinkado winter silhouette) I stamped in versamark and then embossed with white embossing powder. The sentiment was stamped the same and embossed, then the layer was added.
Last time I went to Scrapyard, they had a Christmas in July sale, and I purchased these flowers. I doubled them up, added a flocked red brad to the centre and attached to a 2.5 strip of Cherry Cobbler paper from Stampin' Up (all the red paper for these cards is Cherry Cobbler). Added the sentiment and it was done. I love quick and easy cards sometimes, and this one came together in no time.
The third and final card for this creation is my beloved Dancer stamp. I had a small piece of Cherry Cobbler left over from a cutting area, stamped in versamark and embossed in white then layered it onto some white. I used a little bit of ribbon to tie it all together (no pun intended).

Hi Andrea, it's great to have Canada's colours represented so fabulously with these three stunning cards. All three are extremely striking and any if them would be a joy to receive.

ReplyDeleteAndrea, these are great. I love that first stamp, it's gorgeous. And I truly love Dasher, the reindeer - he was on most of my cards last year and he'll probably be there again this year. I might need to try him white embossed this time. :-)
ReplyDeleteMichelle.
I believe that the Christmas Tree and sentiment on your first card are by Inkadinkado as I have the same set
ReplyDeleteLovely collection of cards
