Memorial Day seemed like the perfect day to join the Red, White & Blue Color Throwdown Challenge.
I started by searching for papers in my stash, and found this wonderful unopened package of Pictures of Metal from Elizabeth Craft Designs (it's 48 sheets of paper on sale for $1.95 if you like these sorts of designs), which just happened to have red, white & blue.
I also wanted to join the Impression Obsession Challenge to Send a Little Humor and the Simon Says Stamp Challenge to use more than one Stamp.
I started by tearing my papers and attaching them to my card base. Next I stamped Impression Obsession Seth Apter's Solar System Stamps in Red & Blue.
I finished with the Impression Obsession Genius is Crazy.
Since I still had the other half of my torn papers, I decided to use the Retro Rubber Challenge Sketch to make another card.
I rotated my torn paper and added a vintage race car (thanks Lauren) with my vintage stamp instead of the oval. I'm also joining the Simon Says Stamp Masculine Challenge with this design.
My Retro Rubber Wood Outlines Have Fun Block Stamp is at least 11 years old (since that's the oldest card in my gallery I can find using it). I added an epoxy arrow for the embellishment element of the sketch.
Since it's also Mail it Monday, I think these are going to go out in the mail today (okay tomorrow, but I'll put them in the mail slot today).
Fun use of the papers and fun sentiment! So happy you joined us at CTD!
