Celebrating a little early

I've worked on a quick card today and even tried a new technique with it. The image is from Tiddly Inks and I paired it with my two new cuttlebug folders and some ribbon I've had laying around since last December. The dotted sky and ground I created for the image came from a tutorial by the amazingly talented Crissy that can be found on her blog. I loved how the ground turned out but think I still need to practice with the 'sky' part.

Challenges used:

Cupcake Craft Challege - sketch

Digital Tuesday - summer (4th of July is during the summer, lol)

Beary Sweet Challenge - emboss

...Wee Memories - red, white, blue

Tiddly Inks Challenge - red, white, blue

The Cuttlebug Spot - Independance Day

Shelley said...: Great use of the Cuttlebug stars folder. I have been reluctant to get it because I wasn't sure how I would use it. The circle is great! Your coloring is fabulous! The background technique really adds a lot. Thanks for joining us at the Curtain Call!; July 1, 2010 at 11:27 PM

Thanks for joining our Beary Sweet Challenge - your embossing is really neat on this card. Until now the star folder wasn't on my "want list" - you've convinced me!

Cheers,
Susan
