It is a very simple, one layer card. I printed the image directly onto Kraft stock, did a little coloring with my colored pencils (sorry folks, no Copics), tied a piece of ribbon around it, and matted it onto red cardstock.
For an added touch, I have some of these little rusted stars that I adhered to the ribbon. Voila!!!
Gosh, don't you just get all warm and fuzzy when you make an easy peasy card that looks like it took all day??? lol...Paulette, you rock!
I am going to enter this here:
ABC Toys and Crafts: Red, White and Blue
Pixie Dust Challenge: Red, White and Blue
On a personal and quite serious note, I am starting on a journey, and am hoping that you will follow along with me, and encourage me along the way. Tonight, I am signing up for Weight Watchers. It's long overdue, and my DD reminded me the other night that she wants to keep me around for a while. So...after each weigh in, I will report to you. My goal is to lose 70 pounds. I would love to lose 90, but at this point in my life, it's probably not feasible. I would love it if you would help keep me motivated. If I report a loss, celebrate with me. If I gain, please encourage me to hang in there and stick with it. Most of all, pray for me to have the strength and willpower to do this. If anyone knows of a widgit I can put on my blog to keep track, please email me!!!
Okay enough blubber stuff.....
Thanks for stopping by today, and hope you like this and run over to Create with TLC and nab yourself one - it was a freebie! While you're there, check out her store - do a little shopping!!!
Hugs!!!
