Three has seemed to be my magic number lately--the number of cards I can manage into a day. My first card for today is actually a wine bottle tag that I will be using when we go to a friend's house tomorrow. I used WMS USA 1776 to create a patriotic tag that will go on a bottle of wine that we will be bringing. DH is currently out buying the wine, so I have a bottle of water standing in for the photo. The Statue of Liberty silhouette stamp is embossed with Ranger Black Sparkle EP, and it is really sparkly in person. I am entering this tag into this week's Simon Says...Patriotic challenge.
I will send this next card to my party hosts later in the week. I am entering it into this week's CASology #51 Fireworks, Color Throwdown CTD249, and Simon Says...Patriotic Challenges.
As I mentioned in previous posts, I am trying to play in this week's A Blog Named Hero challenge every day, because the theme is Playing Favorites, and I have so very many Hero Arts stamps that are my favorites. I am seeing how many of them I can work in. This particular card uses the Hero Arts Envelope Pattern, Blossom Art, and Thank You Messages. I am most madly in love with Envelope Pattern, even though it is a giant wooden stamp. I could use that stamp on every single card if I were not careful. I used the sketch at this week's Retro Sketches rs#70. I am also submitting this card to the current challenge at Die Cut Divas.
