I have made two Red, White and Blue cards for a few challenges.
- MISTI Monday Challenge at Split Coast Stampers
- Mod Squad Challenge
- Gina K Designs July Challenge
I began with the Hot Air Balloon card for the Mod Squad Challenge and the MISTI one. Both needed Red, White, and Blue and the MISTI one had to be non-patriotic. While making this, I knew it needed something else, but couldn’t figure out what. My husband said the balloons could be over the water, so out came another embossing folder. Both folders used are from SU. I enjoy using these balloons both stamped and die cut.
I created the anchor one when I realized it was a Red, White and Blue challenge and started to post the Hot Air Balloon one, then remembered that it needs to be a Gina K Stamp set to be eligible for a win, so the anchors came out.
Thanks for sharing in my fun with the Red, White and Blue cards.
Quick update on the Hot Air Balloon card — It made the top 3 winner of the Mod Squad Challenge. Here is the badge:
Another update: The anchor card won the July Misti Monday challenge. They do not have a badge.
These are both great cards! I like your husband’s idea, as the water is perfect with the balloons.
Love the hot air balloons and your husband’s suggestion. The anchor card is perfect for the stamptv challenge.
OHMYGOSH, both are wonderful; cards. Good thing you listened to your hubby, sometimes that’s not easy to do. 😉
Great cards Lisa and the suggestion from your hubby was inspired. Wonderful way of meeting the challenges.
Thank you, ladies. My husband usually has good ideas to adding something. I seem to always enjoy the hot air balloon set.
The hot air is good by fav is the celebration balloons.
Congrats on your ModSquad win with the hot air balloons, Lisa.
