Sorry I missed last week's blogger's challenge but I"m back and hopefully will be able to keep up! This week our them was Patriotic, it will be a Patriotic weekend as a lot of the challenges this weekend are 4th of July related here in the United States.
I've been missing stamping while I've been traveling so I wanted to jump right back in. My little ones are visiting their grandparents in Florida and my hubby & I are trying to enjoy the quiet time. I stayed up very late on Wednesday night stamping and hope to do that a few nights this week and get "ahead" of myself.
I created this card using a background that I had initially seen on Jeanne Streiff's blog and then just recently on Tammylee Newberry's. Although it took some patience to wait for the paint to dry, I like the look of the finished piece. This was on a piece of acetate and then I stamped the image on a 2nd piece of acetate and adhered them together with the brads. I have another card to show on Sunday with this same type of background.
The background is created by dipping a sponge or brush into some Buzz N Magic Paints and then into my
Buzz N Magic Powdered Chalks and then applying it directly to my paper. I used Ultra, Crimson and Stardust powdered chalks for my colors.
The sketch I chose was from Sketch for You to Try this week, although I eliminated the 3 elements on the left hand size of the image.
This stamp was one on my wish list from Stampotique, Simple Stars-I love it and think that it would be a great stamp not just for the holiday but for any day because we could all use a star-spangled day!
Hope you will check out the other blogger's challenge participants and see what creative Patriotic creations they came up with this week.
