Stay Tuned

Today's card was actually made for two challenges: 

1.  Birdie Brown at http://birdiebrown.blogspot.com/2012/07/july-freebies-and-challenge.html where the image and sentiment can be found.

2.  http://sweetstampinchallengeblog.blogspot.com/2012/07/flags-are-out-at-sweet-stampin.html where the theme is to "use the colours of your Nation's flag" (red, white, and blue).

I printed out the image on a piece of metallic red paper and a sheet of white...a little fussy cutting and Copic coloring.  Warning...the inkjet ink will not dry on metallic so I had to carefully wipe it off after I placed all the pieces where they needed to go.  I created my own retro diecut  by starting with a circle and cutting out triangles.  The sentiment is popped out.  Three black rhinestones in the corner just to add a little pop.  Sweet image!

  1. What a cute card... I may have to get this image for my own collection! Maybe use it on a card for a friend from work who has surgery this week?
