Stars and Stripes Forever

Welcome to a new week filled with unbelievable possibilities! I sure hope that you are expecting good things to come your way this coming week! My post this morning is a card made for the Sweet Stop 9. The twist was to make the sketch using red, white and blue. I knew instantly which stamps and papers I wanted to use. I used the distressing wheel from CTMH to get that edge on all my cardstock. I love that little wheel! Well, off to more adventures for the day!

Recipe:

CTMH cardstock in Moonstruck, Tulip, and White Daisy

CTMH inks in Tulip and Star Spangled Blue

Stamp (C 1201) Spirit of 76

Vintage Cranberry edge anchor

ribbon from stash

Blessings,

Have you ever had a hard time thinking outside the box? Well, for me KJ's Color Chef Challenge this week really made me think outside that big ol' box. Her challenge was to use white and bamboo ONLY !! So, I went looking for a sketch to provide some inspiration. I knew that with these colors, I wanted this to be a wedding card for a friend of mine who is having her wedding later in the summer. So, I found the perfect sketch at Sweet Stop Sketches #8!
I used bamboo and white daisy cardstock, the background is stamped in bamboo ink using Adorable Backgrounds (D1200) and the heart and love are stamped with Love Language (D1343). I used a Just Blooms flower. The pearls and braided

ribbon were leftover from an October 2006 Scrapgoods kit. In the end, I LOVE this card and this week's Color Chef Challenge!

So if you like it, leave some sweetness behind.....
