Born in the U.S.A.!! – Color Challenge

Hi Kids!

Happy Tuesday!!  I’m here today to share the project that I created for the color challenge that’s going on over at the ABC Toys & Crafts DT Blog, which is to create a projecting using Red, White and Blue.  You don’t have to create a patriotic or Fourth of July project, by the way.  But I chose to make one – not sure what I’ll do with it, but it was fun to make!!  LOL

The boat image is from the Precious Baby Boy clear stamp set from Hero Arts.  All of the images in this set are darling, but I especially love this sweet sail boat.  The wave was hand drawn and cut out with my pinking shears, then sewn on my Janome Sew Mini.  The circle was created with two Classic Circle Nestabilities and my Cuttlebug.  The center circle was then embossed with a Swiss Dots Embossing Folder.  The scallop border and sentiment were stickers that coordinate with the DP.  I probably should have made this into a baby boy card instead of a Fourth of July card.  Oh well . . . maybe I’ll CASE it later!!  LOL
