Friday's Weekly Challenge from Bloggers Challenge

Another week has pasted, last week I was not happy with my project....so I did not post it! This week I started a little earlier on the project and enjoyed working with a different card style. The card technique I used is called a side step card. The Friday's Weekly Challenge from Bloggers Challenge was the theme "Father's Day". When I put this card together I was think about my mother's boyfriend and I look forward to sending to him for father's day! I hope you enjoy the card. Please stop by the other talented bloggers blogs to enjoy more father's day cards!

Friday's Weekly Challenge from Bloggers Challenge

Friday has come and gone! I am sorry I missed the deadline for the Bloggers Challenge but I had this card completed over the weekend and wanted to share it with everyone. The Bloggers Challenge was a color challenge using red, white and blue. Since the challenge was during the Memorial Day weekend I decided to do a Patriotic card. I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday weekend and I hope you enjoy the card!

Here is some basics of the elements of the card. The background paper was a glossy white paper that I stamped the stars with VersaMark and embossed, I then used a brayer with blue ink to brayer over the embossed stars. The next thing I did was take a soft rag and wiped off the extra ink. I then heated up the iron and used blank printer paper with background paper in the middle and heated the paper. This is the resist technique that I used that created my background paper.

My image of the eagle was stamped with black in and heat set. I then took a small craft iron and used old red and blue crayons to add the color to the eagle image. I really like the way the crayon turned out! The phrase was done with one of my cutters, I could not get a stamped image to stand out enough.

I wish to thank all our servicemen, women and their families for all the sacrifices that they make for our freedoms. Without our brave servicemen and women our country would not be as great as it is today! Thank you and may God bless you all!
