Anything Goes

Hello
To all in the States Happy 4TH Of July:-) I don't know how I am celebrating today here in the U.S But I will figure it out as the day goes on:-)
I'm here with a card for All That scraps new challenge and that is "ANYTHING GOES" I love these because whatever "speaks" to me is what I love to go with and Red, White, & Blue was calling me this time around:-)
I've added my card to some other challenges listed below and some have what I used or the answer to a challenge question:-)

I used Sweet November Patty for my card you can find her HERE
I added swirls in red, white and blue cardstock made with a die from spellbinders and then just added a few stars I hand cut with a few sparklies
I did something a bit different and colored her hair with Shin Han Twin Touch markers and the rest in my Copic markers, and to add sparkle I used a stardust pen around the stars and swirls.

Other challenges I am entering are:
Pause dream enjoy challenge: who or what left footprints on my heart is the question and my answer is when my middle son went into the Army right out of high school and spent 15 months in Iraq forever changed my life and left a lasting foot print on my heart

Today we have a brand new challenge at All That Scraps and it is to( EMBOSS) now I took that as either dry Emboss or wet and I have so many embossing folders that I decided it was going to be that route for me:-)
I used SugarPlums CC Designs Summer Emma for my card this time adding an Amy R sentiment from an older Beach Sentiments set I've had here
My Embossing is the circles in the Blue Card stock that is a Cuttlebug folder
I added some flowers , and a few
I colored this cutie with Copic markers and a hint of Prisma pencil in her hair to give some bangs!

Enjoy the Gifts of Nature

Hi Everyone!

Things have been so hectic here, Ryan my 13 year old just finished his last full day of school here and now for the next week, I just about drop him off when I have to go up to the school to wait to bring him home! We then go to Florida to set the rest of our other home up:-) I feel a bit like a Gypsy but its fine with me;-)
Today its my turn to showcase a card using one of the Scrapbooking Queens stamp sets:-) I used The Royal Garden today with a cute Teddy Bo Image!


I added a few flowers from Wild orchid crafts and a circle die cut from MFT and there is a hint of Washi Tape from Freckled Fawn that should be black with white dots but I loved putting it on the red cardstock :-)
Thanks for stopping by
