My husband and one of my co-workers both have Birthdays on Flag Day next week.....so I started making cards for them today. Most years I make my DH a golf themed card, as he loves to golf!! This year I wanted to change it up a little. Flourishes is sponsoring The Stars, Spangled Challenge during their new release, asking that we use the colors of our countries flag (for me the USA - red, white and blue)......so I decided to jump into the challenge with this card. Now that I have this out of the way for him I need to start working on Fathers Day.....hmmm, maybe that will be a golf theme!
Challenges: Flourishes FLCCJUNE11
Supplies: CS, Versafine Black Ink, Ala mode white, ribbon, rhinestones, CB EF stars
Really classy looking Sherry, a great birthday card! Thanks for playing with us at Flourishes!
ReplyDeleteSherry,
ReplyDeletePerfect birthday card and coordinating it with flag day! I love that striped ribbon.
Hi Sherry
ReplyDeleteI wanted to drop you a message after viewing your profile following you leaving a comment on Kazan Clark's blog post of the golf ball card (wasn't it great). Anyway - the reason for me getting in touch is because I noticed you were from Chesterfield, Missouri, USA. Well, I'm from Chesterfield in Derbyshire, in the UK. I felt the need to get in touch because of the connection there!!!
I am pretty sure that your Chesterfield and my Chesterfield are more than miles apart in not only distance, but lots of other things such as demographics, socio-economics, agriculture, climate and much much more which is really intersting.
I hope you don't mind me getting in touch so randomly but it was the first time I had seen anyone from a 'different' Chesterfield.
Take care,
Paula
Chesterfield, Derbyhire, UK!xxx
Hi Sherry! This is a great stars spangle banner card! I love the frame for the sentiment!
ReplyDeleteI found you at The Outlawz Follow Me Forum and am so glad I did!
What a wonderful design, Sherry....I love the red/white/blue color combo and how the sentiment is the main image!!!!
ReplyDeleteHi, Sherry! I guess I didn't see all the Star Spangled challenge cards after all. So sorry I missed this, but I'm glad I'm here now. Great idea to use this theme for those Flag Day birthdays! Love that patriotic ribbon and the pretty printed paper. It makes for a very festive birthday card!
