Patriotic Bear

 

I love the Patriotic Bear from Meljens. He is a favorite of mine to use on My Hero Cards made for Operation Write home.  This one I made to enter in the Patriotism challenge at Meljens Designs. After printing the image on white cardstock, I colored it with  Copics B 21, 24, 29,  E 30, 31, 35, 36, Y 28, R 20, 24 and a Gold Glitter Jelli-ink pen. I added some shine with Clear Star Pen. I used SU Brilliant Blue CS for the base and mats and Doodle Pantry Stripe digi paper for the background which is embossed with Cuttlebug EF Divine  Swirls.  The sentiment from Verve  was stamped with Versamark ink and heat embossed with Gold EP.

Also entering into Simon Says Patriotic challenge which ends very soon....but why not!

Fireworks to Celebrate America

This is a second post today and another card to celebrate the 4th of July!

I made this CAS card by using a Fireworks stamp from Repeat Impressions and a sentiment from Verve's  American Hero stamp set.  I stamped both using Versamark ink and Heat Embossed with Gold Embossing Powder on SU Brilliant Bue Cardstock. I attached to a base card of GKD White Cardstock. How simple and sparkly can that be.

Challenges:
CASology : Fireworks
Simon Says: Patriotic

Something about this CPS Sketch called out Red, White, Blue this week. Maybe because I had these cardstocks on my work table?  And I have been making 4th of July cards?  I cut 2 circles, stamped a verse on a simple rectangle, trimmed and embossed a mat and put it all together to make this CAS Card.

Happy 4th of July

It is almost July and we will soon be celebrating the 4th. Time to pull out the Red, White and Blue for some cards. Thought the sketch from Cute Card Thursday was perfect for this card. I used stamps all from Verve's "American Hero" that I stamped on White CS and layered in Navy CS.....used a mat of Red CS that I embossed with stars and highlighted with Platinum Ink and all went together on a Navy Card base. Used Versamark and Gold EP on some of the stars that I stamped and finished with some shiny red bling. I put on a double layer of ribbon for some patriotic stripes.

Stamps: Verve "American Hero"

Inks: Memento Lady Bug, SU Night of Navy, Brilliance Platinum Planet
