Are you tired of Red, White, & Blue yet?
This week being the first Saturday of the month the challenge is a color challenge and my very first! I decided it would be fun to work with Red, White, and Blue in honor of our (if your in the US) Independence Day weekend.
However, I decided NOT to do a 4th of July card but instead a 'whatever' or 'just because' card. That is not part of the challenge this week but could be fun! I used Stampin Up colors: Pacific Point, Poppy Parade, and white, but of course any brand can be used!!
For the monthly schedule and guidelines please go here.
I haven't gotten the monthly giveaway pictured yet by I will get that up ASAP! But until then be sure and check out my current giveaway! See top right hand button!

I love your card way to use those colors in a fun way. I hope to play along on Tuesday
ReplyDeleteGreat card! I love that you used patriotic colors but did not make a patriotic card! I look forward to playing in your first challenge.
ReplyDeleteGreat card. While I have "painted" my flowers to match, I never thought of "dying" them. TFS
ReplyDeleteNice job with the patriotic color combo twist!
ReplyDeleteLove your card Laurie! Red, white & blue's always a fun friend combo!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful card, Laurie, and I'm so excited to play along with your first challenge!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on kicking off your challenge!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful card! I love the papers you used. You're right, the flower did turn out lovely. Such a pretty shade of blue.

Well, first, your red, white and blue card is beautiful. Second, third and fourth, I feel like I have found a kindred spirit. We spell our names the same; I love, love, love PTI and stampin up; and my cricut is the the most fun thing I have purchased (along with my gypsy) for a very long time. I can get lost in my craft room with my cricut, gypsy, cuttlebug, papers and embellishments. Am looking forward to visiting your site frequently.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely fabulous and very patriotic!
ReplyDeleteCute card, Laurie! I'm not tired of red, white, and blue cards yet, but I like the idea of making one that isn't for Fourth of July. Yours turned out great.
ReplyDeleteLove your card, and can't believe how you colored your flower, how cool is that???? Thanks for the tip, I'm going to use that!!!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful patriotic card. Your flower turned out great!
ReplyDeleteLovely cards, I was looking forward to joining the challenge, but ran out of time.
