A little bit patriotic.........

I'm back - a bit later than I'd planned cos I nodded off but I'm here all the same! As it's the 1st of the month, there's a new challenge over at the Cupcake Craftroom, and this month we'd like to see your cards in the colours Red, White and Blue. Of course, this is quite appropriate at the moment, what with the Royal wedding but it also ties in with the release of the 'patriotic' papers from Cupcake Cards and Crafts, which are the prize for the winner of this month's challenge. Here's a couple of cards that I made:


The first card I've used one of my fave Simply Sassy images, coloured with promarkers, Cupcake cards and crafts patriotic papers, Papermania red card, then I've added a border die cut with a MFT die, some flowers, brads and gems from my stash. Oh, and here's a tip for you - it bloomin' hurts when you stick a pokey tool in your finger - as I discovered when I was trying to make a bigger hole for the brads in my flowers!!!!! I'm entering this card into the Hanna and Friends sketch Challenge #92, Fab n' Funky's 'Red, White and Blue' challenge and Daring Cardmakers 'Patriotic' challenge.
The second card, I've used an image from Some Odd Girl coloured with promarkers, Patriotic papers again and I've added Cosmo Cricket letter stickers, some white peel off shapes and some metal self adhesive studs from my stash. I'm entering this card into Simply Create #42 Rock the metal, Delicious Doodles challenge #23 Teenagers and Whoopsi Daisy's 'No Matting and Layering' challenge.
And that's it from me (for now!!), I think. Please let me know what you think of my patriotic cards! And I hope you'll join in with the challenge. See you in the morning with my Paper Cupcakes DT card. Nighty, night....xx
