I have been practicing my copic marker coloring. Still not perfect, but it's come a long way. I really enjoy paper piecing the stamped images and then combining them with cuts from my Cricut.
Once of my stamp lines is Pure Innocence...I recently picked up this cute stamp over at Ginger Snap Scraps.
I decided I wanted her to look festive for the 4th of July. I paper pieced her clothing and then did my best to color her face and hair. Not too bad I guess.
I was craft shopping with my friend a week ago and came across this sticker lace I used in the border.
It looks and feels like real lace, but already has adhesive on the back. How cool is that. It lays really flat on the paper too.
So I am linking this cute little card up to:
My Sheri Crafts Red, White and Blue challenge,
The Kraft Journal Make it Monday Anything Goes Challenge,
Bitten By the Bug Patriotic Challenge
The DT's over at these blogs have some amazing projects for you to look at- be sure to stop by and take a look and link up a project too!
Here's How I did it...
A2 base card from Kraft card stock
Pattern papers from Authentique Glory 6x6 paper pad
Pure Innocence stamp "Being Cute is What I Do" paper pieced and fussy cut
Scallop Mat/layers cut from Elegant Edges at 4"
Stars punched from CM star punch
Lace border is Lace tape
Sentiment from BugBites All Year Round stamp set
Twine from my stash
Button from my stash
