Brave America

Happy Memorial Day to all of you in the United States! In honor of this special day I have a patriotic card to share with you. 

I created this greeting with the Fun Stampers Journey Brave America stamp set. 

Techniques include embossing, ink sponging and layering. Notice I was able to add a bit of white ink to the Metal Accents, toning the shine down, giving them a grungy look like the rest of the card. 

After I sponged and embossed my card background I also spritzed it with some Journey Silver Splash which gives it lovely sparkles that I really like. 

Hope you all enjoy this Memorial Day and thanks to all of you that serve and have served this beautiful country of ours.

Hello

By the time you read this post I'll be at the Journey Blooms offices in Arizona working on the 2016-2017 catalog with Kim Kesti, Laura Williams and our newest member Erika Hayes! 

We all can't wait to share all the new products debuting at convention which will be here very very soon! 

Before leaving, I was playing with the Star-Dom die set and created this card to share with you. 

I love creating with stars! Hmmmm.....I wonder if there could be anymore star stamps or dies in the new catalog???

I'll be back in about 10 days to share some more crafty fun projects with you!
