Tonight I sat down to make a card based on theJust Add Ink sketch for this week. I wanted to make a boy's birthday card, because lately I seem to be have been going all flowery on you. As soon as I'd finished the card, and prepared to show hubby, I just KNEW he'd say "oh, that looks very American". He didn't let me down.
So, even though it's not my intention (and, quite frankly, I think it's entirely the wrong blue), here's my "Happy 4th of May" card:
Stamps: Starring You
Card: Pacific Point, Whisper White, Glossy White, Real Red, Kraft
Ink: Sahara Sand and Pacific Point stampin' pads, Versamark inkpad
Other: Star punch, Pacific Point striped grosgrain ribbon, Top Note die, Perfect Polka Dots embossing folder, 1 3/8" circle punch, 1 3/4" circle punch, sponge dauber
It was so nice to sit down and make a card just for the fun of it tonight; the swaps for the looming Stampin' Up! Convention are getting a bit overwhelming! I needed to just 'play'; thanks to the girls at Just Add Ink, for the inspiration!
oh I like .... can you make me 49 more and then I have my swaps done - lol ... I really need to decide what I am going to make don't I.
Happy 4th of May and yes .... Andrew that blue isn't right ... sorry :o)

Lovely take on the sketch!! I had a friend do heaps of gluing, sponging and stamping for me tonight to help me with my SWAPS! Maybe you could recruit someone??

Bah! That's not American at all! Wrong shades and not enough stripes... ;)
A gorgeous boy's card though. :-)
