A Patriotic Pup

Hi, thanks for joining me today for my July Creative With Stamps Card Challenge, the theme is Flags…this can be interpreted in so many ways, but I have a friend whose birthday is on Independence Day, so I went with a traditional American flag and added a celebrating little pooch.

Patriotic Pup

I started by cutting a piece of red cardstock with my new Die Cuts and More striped background die that I just won from Kat Scrappiness!  I mounted that onto a white card base.  I added a blue square and topped that off with white enamel stars from Close To My Heart.

I colored the Tim Holtz dog and flag with alcohol markers and mounted it onto the flag background with foam squares. I die cut the sentiment “Celebrate” out of blue cardstock and added it above the pup and called it done.

Please follow the linkHere to the Creative With Stamps blog so you can play along with our challenge, remember you can enter anything with a Flag theme and there are prizes!

I also am playing along with the Kat Scrapiness July challenge, which is backgrounds. Since I received this background die from them in a very generous prize package, I thought it only appropriate. ❤ You can reach their Challenge Here

Salutations!  Today is my first post as a member of the fabulous Creative With Stamps Design Team and I am super excited.  It is also Creative With Stamps 2nd Anniversary!  The sponsor of this month’s challenge is Pattie’s Creations Digital Stamps, and I used her Black-eyed Susan digi.  I decided to make them into Purple Cornflowers, but that just shows how versatile these beautiful images are.

Pattie’s Creations Digital Stamps Black-eyed Susan

I colored this beautiful digital stamp with my alcohol markers and then sponged on Tea Dye Distress Ink as well as Tumbled Glass Distress Ink.  I cut the card base using a large postage stamp die, but I first folded my cardstock in half, positioning the top part of the die above the top of the fold, this creates the postage stamp shaped card base.

I used the two larges frame dies by Elizabeth Craft Designs (they are retired and I don’t remember the name) to cut out a dark brown cardstock frame to make the image pop.  I added a bow using Doodlebug Baker’s Twine and popped the image up onto the card base using foam tape.  I added my sentiment and called it done.  🙂
