To give credit where due, I copied Rosemary's card but used my stamps and a red, white, and blue color combination. I wanted to do something that wasn't strictly patriotic for two reasons: 1) I'm ornery like that and 2) it will be usable for longer than the summer. Mostly it's because I'm ornery, though.
I will also be touching up this card before putting it in my OWH stash. Top folding cards photograph better, but side folding cards are better for the OWH tucking process. It is always my goal to have my cards prepared according to the guidelines so there is no need for them to end up in the card hospital.
See...I can play by the rules sometimes.
Until next time,
Becca
This is so cute! Great techniques!
ReplyDeleteVery cool. I like the tire tracks in the background.
ReplyDeleteWhat a cute card to be ornery with. Love the pops of color.
ReplyDeleteOoooooh so cute! SI love how you colored the camper to make it the focal point. What a fab CAS card. I would love for you to check out my blog. I'm offering blog candy for followers. http://alllthingsbeautiful.blogspot.com
ReplyDeleteI also prefer top-folding cards, but I'd rather have my cards show on the outside of the envelopes to make it easier for the troops to see them. It's a very small sacrifice to make, and it's not like I can take a decent photo anyway. ;/

ReplyDeleteHey, we all need a little ornery-ness in our lives every now and then! :) I really like that you've shown a fun take on using red, white and blue instead of a usual patriotic theme. I also agree with you about it being easier to take photos of top-folded cards.
