Summer Birthday

I used one of my favorite wood mount rubber stamps that I found years ago in a local community crafting garage sale along with a beautiful summery sheet of designer paper by K and Co.... not finding the exact flowers to match.. I made my own coloring with Copics (also used to color in stamped image) and added a little Diamond Dust ....I followed a sketch by Friday Sketchers and am entering into the following challenges:

Simply Patriotic

Although there is just over an hour left of this 4th of July... I had to post this simple patriotic card I made using a scrap sheet of paper that I picked up as a freebie in our local scrapbooking store...I hadn't planned on this card...the pieces just sort of jumped at me ...so I followed sketch 109 at Friday Sketchers and the pieces came together...I did a little trimming by hand and  a little 'Script' CB embossing and that's about it...oh, except for the stars in the corners...I used an unused cricut cut out of a star as a stencil using a parint brush with a little versa mark and some gold perfect pearls... hope you had a safe and happy one...

Made In USA

This is my very first time using Copics...(love 'em!) I adored the image by Digi Doodle Shop..reminds me of a car that my and brother and I used to play with way back when we were that size... after coloring the image the rest of the card just came together really quickly ..using Wild Card (rockets) and Graphically Speaking Cricut Carts (made in USA) and it can go into the following challenges:
