RCC83 - Heritage/Country Pride/Celebrations


Hey everyone, popping in to share my card for this month's Ribbon Carousel challenge.  Our theme this month is Heritage/Country Pride/Celebrations.  

For my card, I stamped the cute star/flag image and then colored it using watercolor pencils and a white gel pen.  I love how bright the gel pen is, it really holds it's own on kraft. 

The sentiment is from the same set, and a little bit of grosgrain was just the right touch to finish things off.  This card is slated for my Operation Write Home pile.  If you've never heard of OWH, please check them out, they are a great organization. 

Hope you will join us this month.  One random participant will receive their very own Ribbon Carousel! 

Supplies Used
Paper/Cardstock:  CTMH - White Daisy and Kraft cardstock
Stamps:  Sweet n' Sassy Stamps - Patriotic Cocoa
Ink:  CTMH - Chocolate
Other:  CTMH - Watercolor Pencils; Signo - White Uniball Gel Pen; CTMH - Cranberry Grosgrain; Tombow - Mono Adhesive

  10. Cute as can be! I just love how colored pencils look on kraft, and way to rock that gel pen, too! Mine always dry up on me, and it's the Signo pen EVERYONE says is the best. Sigh.
