Freedom Bell

Posted on June 26, 2015 11:17 AM by Julie 2 Comments

For today’s Free for All Challenge (F4A279), we are to make a card for July 4th. Mine is pretty quick & easy..after stamping, coloring and fussy cutting the Liberty Bell & USA letters, I added the letters to die cut red, white & blue banners. The white bg was die cut & embossed w/ a stripe pattern and the greeting was die cut & added to a larger die cut circle w/ the ring of stars on it. The finished card is 4.25 5.50 and these are the Copics I used.

Anchors Aweigh!

Today’s CAS Challenge (clean & simple) CAS330, has us using stars &/or stripes. I used both plus anchors for my Patriotic Military card.

And this really was quick & easy because almost all of it was made using die cuts I already had sitting around. I only stamped 3 images, colored 2 and fussy cut the anchor. The little square frame w/ the pierced circle was already there along w/ the little red ring so I added a smaller die cut circle w/ the US Navy emblem stamped in denim. The anchor & USA were lightly colored & added to a bg I embossed w/ a small anchor pattern. The inside has the rest of the USA greeting & says “Home of the Free Thanks to Our Brave”. The finished card is 4.25 x 5.50 and these are the Copics I used (not many).

Sitting on the Beach

Posted on June 19, 2015 10:16 AM by Julie 1 Comment

Today’s Free For All Challenge (F4A278) asks us to use umbrellas, rain, rivers, etc. I went with the umbrella part, but mine is on the beach.

If there’s a decent breeze, I’d like to be right there in that chair. We are having the worst heat wave here! And my hubby has been on crutches for a week..we had the back re-sodded, the sprinkler system wasn’t working right..Aye yi yi!! Between watering & waiting on him & driving him to Drs., I’ve been hopping around like a one legged flamenco dancer! I told hubs I could just amputate the foot & get him a peg cause we already have the parrot, lol. So far he’s not going for it.

This card is all on one layer..I say one layer because there is only one. I never count the card itself. To me that’s a no layer. I started by stamping the chair, masking, then the umbrella, fence & palm tree. With the masks for all of these still in place, I sponged on the sand, sea & used a scallop edge mask to sponge the sky w/ clouds. The finished card is 5.50 x 4.25 and these are the Copics I used.
