Seize the Birthday - Red, White, and Blue

Hello friends and Happy Thursday.  It is time for a new challenge at Seize the Birthday and I am the host this time.  Since we are right at the 4th of July, I thought it would be nice to have Red, White and Blue as our "Toppings" option.  Can't wait to see your cards in our gallery.


I used SU Painted Poppies Stamps and dies.  I colored the flowers with SU Real Red and Poppy Parade Blends and fussy cut them out.  I stamped the leaves in Night of Navy ink and fussy cut them.  The sentiment from Simply Sketched (retired SU) is stamped on a Stitched So Sweetly die cut mounted with foam tape.  The flowers are also mounted with foam tape.  The pattern paper is from an older 6x6 pad.

Be sure to check out all the great cards by my teammates over at Seize the Birthday and join in our fun challenge. 

Thanks so much for stopping by.  Have a wonderful day.

Happy Stamping,
JoAnn

  6. Absolutely wonderful how the colors are so neatly spread among the flowers and the pattern papers..and how neatly you've assembled them, each making a distinct impression, but still playing with the whole. Great card, JoAnn!
