  It's time for another challenge over on The Card Concept blog. 

Today's challenge is: Patriotic Decor

I was inspired by the colors and flags for my vintage style card.

 

The seed packet was stamped on coffee dyed paper. I used scissors to distress the edges and inked around them with vintage photo distress ink. The flag was stamped on mixed media paper and colored with Arteza Real Brush Pens. I also inked around it's edges to give it a vintage feel. 

Supplies and Tools from Stamp Simply:

• The Red, White & Blue stamp set
  
• The Red, White & Blue flag die
• The American Eagle Stamp Set 
• Vintage Seed Packet Stamp Set
  
• Versafine Clair Nocturne Ink

Come to me...

I'm up on the Stamp Simply blog today sharing this lemon themed encouragement card. I don't use little stamps very often because I struggle with how to fill up the rest of the card front. A recent card by team mate Judy inspired me to try again though, and I'm loving these cute little lemons combined with black and white gingham.

• Fruit Stamp Set
• Words of Encouragement
• Floral Cluster & Sprigs 
• Versafine Clair Nocturne Ink      

Other Supplies: 

• Arteza Real Brush Pens
• Gingham Ribbon
• Rhinestones
• Dotted Oval Dies (Sizzix) 
• Paper Doily
