America the Beautiful!

When I saw the colors that LeAnne chose for the current challenge at The Paper Players, I knew exactly what card I wanted to make for the challenge.  I've been wanting to use this new cutting plate since I purchased from Taylored Expressions.  This challenge was perfect for it.  Although you can't see it, there are actually 50 of those little stars on that cutting plate.  They will make perfect little pieces to add to some shaker cards I want to make.


Stamp Set:  Stars & Stripes (Taylored Expressions); Inks:  Cherry Cobbler; Cardstock:  Cherry Cobbler, Dapper Denim, Whisper White; Other:  Triple Banner Punch, American Flag Cutting Plate (Taylored Expressions), America the Beautiful Download (Taylored Expressions); Lined Thread, Dimensionals

The colors I used are from the current challenge at The Paper Players.  To see all the challenge details and link up your own project, click the image below.

  3. This is AMAZING! The star-studded diecut is impressive enough, but the sentiment on the white stripes....just ingenious! And the banner finishes it off SO nicely! Thanks for making my colors look so sweet this week!
