I have two cards to share with you. First is Bloggers' Challenge and the current Stamps and Smiles sketch. With this being 4th of July weekend, the Bloggers' Challenge theme is red, white and blue. I used those colors, but instead of a 4th of July card, I made a card for a friend.
Can you see the embossing on the Whisper White and Night of Navy panels? It's the diamond pattern from Texture Plates #1. I also used the Big Shot with the Daisies Die #2. The centers of my daisies are 1/2" Circles from Night of Navy and Fire Circle Rhinestones. I used the Real Red and Night of Navy markers on my sentiment from All Holidays.
My second card follows the sketch on Our Creative Corner and uses the SCS Color Challenge, which is Kraft, So Saffron and Night of Navy. I think this card is related to what some of us might be doing at parties this weekend!
I stamped my beer mugs from Cheers to You on a piece of Kraft card stock with Basic Black. I also stamped the mughs on Whisper White and So Saffron card stock. Then I paper pieced so it looks like I have a mug of So Saffron beer with a Whisper White frothy top, lol! I stamped my sentiment with Night of Navy ink and punched it out with the Large Oval Punch. Then I layered it on a Night of Navy Scallop Oval Punch. Lastly, I added some Night of Navy Grosgrain on the So Saffron panel.
"Cheers" to all of you on this 4th of July weekend. I hope you have a fun and safe holiday. But, be sure to check back over the weekend. I'll have projects to share.
Thanks for the visit!
Great cards, Sheryl! I have a hard time with 4th of July cards too...I'm sure your friend will love it!

Great job with both cards. I love how you did your RWB card for as a "Friend" card. Love the embossing and die cut flowers (so pretty).
Now me I'm not a (Beer) drinker but the card is cute.
