Oh Say Can You See Blog Hop

I'm so glad you could join the SNR Card Universe Blog Hop today. If you came from Lorie Ames blog you are on the right track! If you didn't, you may want to hop to SNR Card Universe and start at the beginning.

Let's get started, shall we? Today I have a red, white and blue card to share with you.


I know you have a lot more blogs to check out, so we'll keep this short and sweet.

1. I adhered aluminum foil to a piece of cardstock. Then I applied alcohol inks in denim and red pepper, leaving some of the silver showing through. I spritzed it with alcohol to get splatters.

2. I ran the cardstock through the cuttlebug with the diamonds in the rough embossing folder. Then I took a staz-0n pad in ultramarine and smooshed it over the raised diamonds.

3. I stamped "U.S.A..." onto white cardstock, and cut it out with a nestability oval die. I took a red staz-0n pad and distressed the paper, with spatters and edging. Set aside to dry.

4. I stamped the large awareness ribbon onto white cardstock, coloring with a red marker and a blue marker. Then I cut it out and adhered pop dots on the back.

5. I cut a piece of red cardstock 4" x 3/4". I punched a whole and secured a blue star brad. Then I adhered it to the front of the card.

6. I had a silver flag charm, which I colored with blue and red alcohol ink, rubbing some off to give it a distressed look. I adhered that to the bottom of the oval with a silver brad. Then I adhered it to the red cardstock with adhesive.

7. I adhered the cut out awareness ribbon to the front of the card, and layered it onto red cardstock, white cardstock, and blue cardstock.

Today I would like to give away the awareness ribbon stamp, along with the U.S.A. ... because of the brave stamp to a lucky person who leaves a comment on this blog. I will take comments until 11:00 p.m., Sunday, July 5th. The winner will be drawn by a random number generator. Please leave a way for me to get in contact with you in your comment, as blogger does not furnish me with any information as to who you are, and I would hate for you to win and then me not be able to contact you.

I hope you have enjoyed my blog today, and I hope you have a safe and wonderful 4th of July. Next on the hop is Melissa Banian, so be sure to visit her blog.
