613 Avenue Create #223 - Anything Goes-Option Use Your Country's Flag Colors

Hello There!  Well, we're officially in the second half of the year - wow, how time flies.  Our new Anything Goes Challenge at 613 Avenue Create is to use the colors of your country's flag.  Here's my card using red, white and blue:

I used paper from my stash to cover the card base.  Then I used Memento Inks blended over a brick stencil to create a background panel.  I inked the stamp and sentiment and fussy cut them before adhering them to the brick panel.  The stamp set is an old one, which I really love - In the Cards by Casual Fridays Stamps.

This card has a masculine feel so I'll probably end up sending it to a man.  I think it's a fun card, one that can be used for a variety of occasions.

We'd love to see your creations so please join our challenge. Happy crafting!

A Place to Start - July - Anything Goes

Well, I hope the first half of the year has gone well for you.  As we enter July, we have a new challenge at A Place to Start.  This time our theme is Anything Goes. ( And, by the way, there will be no mid-month post,)

I created a baby card.  I won the adorable Whittle Elephant die from Poppy Stamps a few months ago.  I love the stitched details on the tiny die.  It was easy to color.  I added some DP from my stash, some colored card stock cut with stitched rectangle dies, and a sentiment actually borrowed from a friend. I grounded the elephant with a bit of shading below his feet.  Finally, I added a few sequins.

This CAS card was easy to make.  Die cuts can really make for a cute card.
