Hello everyone and happy Monday!! Laurie here to share a card using the theme of a North American July (Red and White OR Red, White and Navy) coloured project. Of course these are very patriotic colours and pretty soon it will be Canada Day(July 1st) and Independence Day(July 4th)! Although, my card doesn’t really celebrate either one of those occasions, it is definitely a very Canadian card 🙂
I started by stamping the Mandala Flower stamp, twice, in Versamark Ink onto some red cardstock. I then heat embossed the images with white embossing powder. Right off the bat, I loved the look!! However, I wanted to add a bit of detail to each flower, so I used a white pencil crayon to do some simple shading in a few areas of the image.
SUPPLIES:
Mandala Clear Stamp Set

This simple technique added SO much!! I cut the red panel down using the rectangle die from the new Dotted Patterns Set 1 Creative Dies. For the sentiment, I die cut the “thank you” from the Mini Thank You Bundle, three times from white cardstock, adhered them all together and glued them down onto the panel.
I did add some clear sparkle pen to the sentiment, although it was hard to capture in the photos. To keep it simple, I added 5 drops of White Nuvo Crystal Drops. I love the way this turned out!! And SO simple to create!!
Before I go, I do want to share a Red/ White and Navy card I made as well!! I wish I thought of this last week for our Masculine Theme Week..
I used the new Happy Stamp Set for the sentiment, the Dotted Patterns Set 1 and the Darling Ribbon and Dotted Frames Creative Dies for the panels and the Stitched Notebook Set Creative Dies for all the other die cut elements!
Thank you for joining us today as we start another fun Theme Week!!
See you soon….
Laurie
Awesome creation!
Both the cards are wonderful ,loved the second one a bit more 🙂
I LIKE the solid colors with these bold dies! It just looks SO RIGHT! (For the Red, White & Blue card) For the Red & White Card- this is BEAUTIFUL! It shows just HOW LITTLE one has to do to make a FABULOUS CARD! 😉 I LOVE the small amount of coloring with the white pencil crayon you did too! It just makes this POP! 😉
