Stars and Stripes Stella

Holidays tend to be pretty laid back around here, so I had time to play with another challenge. This time I decided to dig into the stash to play along with the girls over at Totally Stampalicious. Their challenge this week is to make a card with stars and stripes in honor of July 4th. Red, White, and Blue was completely optional, but I used plenty of those colors and lots of glitter, too. Breast Cancer Stella's sign was the perfect place to add a small message from a little dollar set I've had around for ages. Had red and blue sparkly papers, but had to make my own white....well, I hadn't found the stuff I had in the stash when I decided I had to make my own sparkly white. The blue striped glitter paper had its own adhesive, which made it super easy to make a striped background for my card. Thanks for the great challenge, ladies. I've missed playing along with ya'll on Mondays!

Tickle Your Funny Bone with the Totally Stampalicious Challenge

The challenge this week at Totally Stampalicious is to make a humorous card, so I used one of the new Stella images from Totally Stampalicious. This image is part of the collection of acrylic stamps that were previously only available as digital images from Bugaboo. There are a total of eight sets in this collection and they were just released Thursday evening for those of you who love those Bugaboo images but prefer to work with a rubber or acrylic stamp.
I made another easel card with a base of Basic Gray. The dsp is from SU!'s stack that was available during Sale-Abration and is layered with GP white.The ribbon is Basic Gray taffeta ribbon, also from SU!!! I love this ribbon....ties up into the prettiest bows!! The image is colored with Copic markers. I used a clear glitter gel pen to add some sparkly accents to the image. Hope you like it...sure was fun to make!!
