Well, apparently I'm avoiding the color scheme for this week's Online Summer Card Camp...okay, I'm not really avoiding it, I just don't have what I need to make the card that's floating around in my head (going to get it all tonight). Anyway, I have this stack of red, white and blue paper sitting here begging to be made into a card. (Die Cuts with a View Nantucket Stack from Michael's) Enter ColourQ Challenge #91 and this color scheme (left) I love this color scheme - but then, I love just about any color scheme that involves red, white and blue. Then I saw the sketch from CPS this week (right) and I decided to put the two of them together.
And here's what I came up with:
I apologize for the catty-wampus photo. I took it on the driveway since there was decent light out there and I was being too lazy to lay on the concrete to get a decent - and straight - shot. To add a little more "sparkle" to the grey, I embossed the sentiment in silver embossing powder and the button has some silver thread in it (can't have naked buttons on my stuff!!). Thanks for visiting.
Paper: (Patterned Paper) Die Cuts with a View, Nantucket Stack; (grey) came from my husband's office when they wanted to unload SIX CASES of paper - a case and a half of it was cardstock

Button: Jenni Bowlin Vintage Sew-On Buttons (red isn't in her store, but some other colors are at the bottom of this page)

Embossing Powder: was in my stash from way back when
