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!

613 Avenue Create #206 - Anything Goes - Option Love

Hello, my Crafty Friends!  613 Avenue Create starts off February with the option of Love on our Anything Goes Challenge.  Since Valentine's Day is this month, we know a number of you already have love on your minds.  We're anxious to see what you all create so please join in.  Here's my card.  I actually made a number of these for my church ministry to give to our adopted seniors.

I used a Cricut cartridge to cut the heart "flowers."  I stamped the background and sentiment, adding some gold thread behind the die cut sentiment.

I'll be back later to add some challenges.

Card stock:  Recollections 60 lb. and 110 lb.
Background Stamp:  Concord and 9th Polka Dot Turnabout (stamped once)
Sentiment:  Old and unknown
Cricut cartridge:  Close to My Heart Artbooking
