Thursday, August 12-Regal and Proud
My first card is pretty straightforward ~ I used Kraft and Black CS and Basic Grey DP for my sentiment. EK Success Border Punch, Circle Nestie, Distress Inks for Sponging, Copic Markers for coloring, Twine, and Flag Charm. Papers, Ink, Copics,Stamps, and Charm all from Mark`s Finest Papers .
On my second card I used watercolor paper and painted a background. Then stamped my image on top. Matted and distressed. DP is from Basic Grey inside and out. I used a MS Corner Punch on all corners. Stamps and papers from Mark`s Finest Papers .
This is a fabulous set of stamps for military families or those who make cards for our troops. Also a great set to make guy cards which can sometimes be more difficult. These stamps make them easy!
Thanks for looking and have a fabulous day!

Judi, I just love the simple colors that allow the eagle to take the stage, and the wonderful distressing and dp bg of the second. These are lovely cards!

ReplyDeleteOh my that eagle is one charming one. I really love the way you made the scene on the other card look kind of sort of grunge like. Like cool and so awesome, or amazing would be better.
