A card I made awhile ago. I used various dies, a border punch, and an embossing folder.
These 4th of July cards celebrate our 250 years since our declaration of independence in a postage stamp design.
The girl is from an old Stampin Up set. I masked over the flowers in her hand when inking the stamp and drew a little flag instead. The diecut numbers are holographic paper.
The idea for these cards came from Pinterest where I saw this flag design on a canvas. I thought the quote stamp (Tim Holtz) went perfect with it for the 250 years Independence Day.
Some older cards I made with ideas I found on Pinterest. I like to try and copy cards I like using things I have. It's a fun challenge! My cards will the ones first pictured followed by the inspiration card.
It's been quite some time since I made this so it's hard to remember but I think I had made my own stencil for the waves.
I got the idea of the flaming cake and burnt corner from Pinterest and have made 2 of these. I found the perfect stamp sentiment for the front and the inside is my own idea. I used some random dies to make the fire extinguisher. (Wine bottle, tiny letter y.)
This was the first time I made the card.
I used the Artist Loft watercolor paper from Michaels with Betterpress plates. The cheap watercolor paper isn't great for doing actual watercolors but makes pretty decent letterpress paper.
I got the ideas/inspiration from Pinterest. The inspiration for the first card is below but I don't have any for the other 2 cards.
