Hi again!
A friend of the family's son (I call him my nephew) celebrates his birthday near the 4th of July, so I decided this year to create a card with an Americana feel. I just adore anything Americana...and in fact, my entire house used to be decorated in this theme.
The sketch is from the Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge over at Karen Giron's blog "The Sweetest Thing". I always enjoy her sketches, and you could win a Guest Stamper spot too.
I recently bought some Kraft Cardstock, and really like how it goes with the red, white & blue.
The stars were cut out by hand (after making a template using a SU! star stamp), chalked around the edges, then popped up.
The red-scallop strip was created using a corner punch by removing the guard; you can easily punch each scallop, and viola! It takes some time, but I really love how it looks.
Thanks for stopping by again today, I hope you have a great weekend!
