Hi there!
It's July 1st, which means it's time for another Paper Sweeties Challenge! This is my second post for the day, so please scroll down to see my project for Dies R Us! It's time to get patriotic...red, white, and blue! You have until the end of the month, July 31st, to join in on the challenge! The winner will receive a $20 gift certificate to the store and invited to be next month's designer! What awesome colors and fun inspiration photo. You can use whatever you desire from the photo...colors...stars and stripes...etc. So, I hope to see your wonderful creation over at the challenge!
For my creation, I was inspired to make a card using Jake dressed in his military uniform! And, here is my card...
I started with a white card base and paired it with navy blue. The banner, stars, and rectangle behind Jake was made using Sweet Cuts-Be Happy dies. The sentiment on the banner is from the stamp set Hello Friend. Jake's uniform is from the stamp set You're My Hero. The banners stamped with "My Hero" were made using alphas from the stamp set Alphas-Upper Case. Metal dots and twine(apple pie) were placed to finish off the card. You will want to hop along with the list below to see what my talented teammates created...have fun!

ReplyDeleteWhat an adorable card, Maria! Jake is so sweet in his military uniform, and I love your patriotic design. The layered stars and the bold stripes are so perfect.

ReplyDeleteLove this card... you do a great job coloring.. I'm still learning... awesome!
ReplyDeleteMaria, this is the best patriotic/military card I've ever seen! You did a fabulous job coloring the uniform, and I love the gold buttons. What a great detail. Most Independence Day cards have a lot of red on this. I like that yours is mostly blue with white stripes. This is a super classy card. Love it!!!
