All American Girl

 Just look at this All American Girl by Pajama Crafter Stamps! She’s ready to celebrate the 4th of July, with the flag draped over her shoulders like a cape. Her hair bows tame those curly locks and perfectly match both her outfit and glasses. She’s simply American perfection!

Of course, this little beauty needed to have a background of fireworks for the evening's celebration.  In order to create this background, I first used the Fireworks Hot Foil Plates by Lawn Fawn with blue, silver and red foil.  Next, I used the Lawn Fawn Grassy Stencil to lay in the grass using Twisted Citron and Mowed Lawn Distress Oxide Ink.  The sky was ink blended with Tumbled Glass, Blueprint Sketch and Chipped Sapphire Distress Oxide Ink.  

I heat embossed the sentiment that is included in the stamp set with black embossing powder.  I just think this background is just outstanding!

I colored this All-American Girl with Copic markers in the following colors:

• E000, E00, E11, E21 - skin
• B21, B41, B91 - shorts
• Y04, Y06, Y08 - t-shirts
• B00, B24, B26 - flag
• R05, R24, R46 - flag
• Y21, Y24, Y25 -hair

To add a little extra excitement to the center of the fireworks, I added some Starlight Confetti Embellishments by Trinity Stamps.  They are a very think holographic star that absolutely looks like the hot foiled fireworks. 

This stamp set has a number of different sentiments, so I chose another one for the inside of this card.

She was just so fun to color!  I am sure I will be using her in other cards!

Thank you so much for stopping by and I truly hope you are enjoying your summer!

Sun and Ice Cream Fun!

 Hello!  Break out the shades and cool off with a frozen treat!  I love, love, love the way this card turned out! It makes me smile just like that big ol' sun.  I created this card with some new and some older dies from Trinity Stamps.  

The gigantic sun and sentiment from is the Sunshine Die Set  but the real treat on this card are the summer treats at the bottom.

These little guys are just the best - they are cut using the new Tiny Frozen Treats Die Set.  To add some realism to them, I added a little Glossy Accents Dimensional Glaze.  

This is a really fun and quick card to make.  I didn't add a sentinment to the inside, that way I can use it for a number of different occasions.  Wouldn't it be a fun summer party invitation?
