Hello! It's once again time for another great challenge over at
Card Crafter's Circle. This week it's all about stars and stripes (not necessarily patriotic). It's not that I'm not patriotic, but I just decided to go with the basics. I have used this wonderful star floral heart from
MelJen's and coloured it with markers to help it stand out a bit more. I cut this out and matted it to some blue textured cardstock and for an added touch embroidered some added vines on it. I popped this up over my Stripes and block papers from my stash which are matted to green cardstock. For a final touch I added some star brads. They were silver so I coloured them red with my permanent marker and dabbed a bit off for a slightly distressed look. So voila....this is what I made. Here's a close up of the embroidery.
I hope you'll come join in the fun! If you need a bit more incentive..... this week we are being sponsored by the amazing
MelJen's Stamps and they are offering the winner 4 wonderful images!
If that's still not enough incentive.....they go
