Hello everyone, happy Thursday to you all. I am glad to back among the Internet this week. Last week I had to go to McDonald's to use the WiFi to post (Thanks McDonald's for supplying the WiFi). My kids didn't mind since they got milkshakes out of the deal.
Today at Inspired Stamps we were asked to create Red, White and Blue projects. If you visited last week you know that was my color scheme for the military card, so this week I went with a different HLO (Thankful Girl) and gave her a patriotic look. I used stars from Psalm 91 Protection set to use for her purse and headband. I also used the star with United States of America from Psalm 91 Protection set. I used some long forgotten Daisy D paper for the bunting.
The bunting was harder than I anticipated, but it could be that I have not crafted in a while and was out of practice. My fingers just did not seem to work correctly. The scoring and folding the paper was fine, but to get in to stay in a semi-circle, not so easy. Oh well, I hope you like it. I think
HLO Thankful Girl looks sweet dressed patriotically.
Have a great day and please check out the other DT members creations and give them some love by telling them what you think of their projects. Thanks for stopping by.
Hello Everyone. The weather has cooled a bit and the leaves are starting to turn and fall from the trees so this beautiful time of the year is my inspiration for this weeks card. The card was to contain a HLO, so I used HLO Thankful Girl and a 2 X 2 scripture. I colored her hair and skin with Copic markers and paper pieced her outfit (green is my favorite color, can you tell :) ). I went back into my supplies and I had this large Sizzix leaf die and I thought the 2 X 2 scripture would fit and it did. I cut it in a yellow orange and then used distress inks in oranges, red and brown to bring out the Fall colors. I tied a ribbon around bottom notch of leaf for more visual interest. I mounted everything onto a piece of Kraft cardstock that embossed with the woodgrain folder by Tim Holtz. I also added some walnut stain to bring out more life and rounded the corners. Please let me know what you think and I hope you are digging through your old tools and designing some new creations. I am having a lot of fun using tools that I have had since I started crafting.
