Flag Tag

Hello Friends I wanted to take part in the Unity red white and blue challenge on facebook. So this is what I came up with I will call it the flag tag.  As an immigrant  and a naturalized citizen. I had to do a lot of reading about the history of America for my citizenship test. I guess this is my interpretation about what America means to me.  I used the colours and the stars from the flag. The butterfly represents freedom and the sentiment represents  one nation under God. I used distress inks to create my background on a kraft tag. I really love to get messy using these inks.

Fall Apart Hearts

Hello Friends Happy Monday :) It is so hot here in upstate NY. This Scottish girl still cannot get used to the hot and humid summers of America. I much prefer the cold to the heat. Yes I did just say that ha.  So I spent today inside beside my air conditioner crafting.  I made this card for the CAS-ual Fridays challenge. The challenge is to use hearts in summery colours.  So I got out my Martha Stewart heart punch and punched lots of hearts in pink, green and purple glitter paper. I made a row of hearts and sprinkled some sequins and rhinestones in between them. I used a stamp from Unity Stamp Co called Fall Together .  I stamped the sentiment just above my row of bling using VersaFine Onyx black Ink. I hope you like my card, thanks so much for stopping by.

Bold Butterfly

Hello Friends It's Friday yay!! Time for Friends with Flair over at the Unity blog. This is my card for this week more butterflies ha! I bought this stamp last week and just had to ink it up. How pretty is this butterfly it is called Bold Butterfly designed by Donna Downey. It is so so pretty!  The sentiment is from the new  Kennedy Girl stamp she is next on my list to  ink up. I used my Peacock Feathers distress ink on the butterfly it is such a lovely colour. I cut out the butterfly and glued just the body on to the card. Then stamped my sentiment and sprinkled a trail of rhinestones. Have a wonderful weekend thanks for visiting xox
