I made a card yesterday based LOOSELY on Julee's Mojo Monday sketch #93. This was a simple card which since we have been SO busy, that worked perfectly for my schedule.
The base of this card is Whisper White and is 5 1/4" square. I then matted Night of Navy and the decorative paper is from an old SU! Simply Scrappin' kit (can't remember the name of it). I don't send 4th of July cards so I made this card so I can send it for a masculine Birthday. I LOVED the eagle and couldn't wait to use it! The eagle is from Serendipity and can be found HERE. I stamped the eagle 2 times on Whisper White and cut out the head on one of them and mounted it on top of the first stamped image using dimensionals. I colored the beak using a blender pen and So Saffron ink pad and for the eye, I used Soft Sky ink and a blender pen. The body was colored using Prismacolor pencils. I then matted the image on Basic Black and then Soft Sky. For the strip, I punched the tree border from Wild Wasabi CS and then added a strip of Night of Navy and a small border of Whisper White. The star brads are from SU! as is the silver label hardware. The sentiment is an SU! rub on.
Hopefully tomorrow I can stay home and get some stampin' time which would be nice since I have lots to do!!! Hope your day is wonderful!
