My friend's birthday is the Fourth of July. How fun is that?!
She has the awesome personality to match that day too...she's like a party waiting to happen.;)
I shall be a good friend this year and send her a card:
I am new to stamping and coloring...but it wasn't hard to color the chipboard button and simple white ribbon with a grey Copic marker. The ribbon became a little stiff after coloring, but I like that! It was easier to handle and lay flat.
I colored the red stars with a Memento marker. I used an Innovative Stamp Creations stamp for the background (I hardly have any grey cardstock).
There are 3 challenges that got me headed in the right direction to make this fun card:
Pals Paper Arts 99 Element of Style-Stars,
(PS...I got to see Bette Midler when I was a wee little one..maybe 3..it is one of my first memories!!! ;)
Play Date Cafe with these awesome colors,
and Just Add Ink 73 's sketch:
Supplies: Innovative Stamp Creations Rocks on the Shore (free stamp thrown in with my order...cool!!!), ODBD Time (given to me free from a blog hop....cool! ), Quickutz star belt loop (given to me by my sister who got it free at a scrapbookstore...cool!), Copic marker, Memento marker, Staz on ink, Making Memories Just Chillin' DP
