Let's Celebrate
For this patriotic card, I embossed some Real Red, Whisper White & Night of Navy cardstock with an Impressions Plate, cut strips in red and white and a small navy rectangle and adhered all to a scrap piece of cardstock in a flag design. After piercing and inserting the Rhinestone brads, all was adhered onto a Crumb Cake card base that includes a white and kraft panel stitched with the sewing machine.
To finish it off, I added a "let's celebrate' take with an additional Rhinestone brad.
Stamps: On Your Birthday
Paper: Crumb Cake (Kraft), Real Red, Night of Navy, Whisper White CS

Other: Mat Pack & Paper Piercing Tool, Big Shot, Impressions Plate, Rhinestone Brads, sewing machine & thread

A great patriotic card. . . and look at that blog candy. Thanks for sharing your talent with us and also for giving us a chance to win some goodies!
Those are great colors! Love your card too!
I would love to win some free products! I follow the curtain call and love seeing what everyone comes up with. For some reason, I never challenge myself to participate. I don't feel that creative on my own :(
What a giggle! I used the stamp set that's part of the blog candy on my color challenge card.

How fun! I'm new to blogs & all the opportunities for inspiration, contests & give-aways. I can't wait to put together my LO for your challenge.
I've been a Stampin' Up fan for a few years now. I don't yet know if I'm happy or sad about all the color changes. I can't wait to see the new catalog.
Thanks for the candy.

this was a great color combo and lent itself to making a patriotic card -yours was great by the way-thanks for the chance to win some fabo candy as well
I'm thinking the red-white-blue flag card would make a great birthday card for my brother, retired after 20 years service in the Air Force.
I had fun making a Halloween LO of all things using these colors. They go perfectly w/my dd's first costume when she was 4 mos old. Love the DT's work!
Cannot wait to get my hands on the new colors!!
It's so sad to see these colors go!
That blog candy looks great! Not sure I will be able to submit a card this week. However, I wish a happy 4th of July to all of you!
