Our Hero

Hello friends! I'm back today with yet another 'delinquent' post! ha ha! This card was created for the Papertrey Ink Flash Sale the week before Memorial Day, so it was very fitting for the time, but I still wanted to share it here as well. 

The Our Hero Stamp Set was the stamp set that was featured for the sale, but I had so much fun pulling in all kinds of other dies to bring this card to life! To begin, I die cut the flower pieces using the  Into the Blooms: Poppies die. I colored them with Berry Sorbet, Pure Poppy, and True Black ink. I glued them together using liquid glue and foam squares for dimension. I set them aside and got to work on the background.

If you haven't noticed, I'm slightly obsessed with Hot Foil plates at the moment, so for this card, I used the Stargazing Hot Foil Plate and silver foil on Spring Rain cardstock.

I used the Love to Layer: American Flag die as the anchor for the rest of the design elements. I added the poppies to the bottom and then placed the "Our Hero" portion above the flowers. I added some greenery (that's really blue, ha ha!) that was die cut using the Into the Blooms: Christmas Sprigs die and colored with Spring Rain ink.

The star images are also from the Our Hero stamp set and I added them using foam squares. A few sparkling clear sequins finish off this patriotic card! Thanks for fluttering by!
