July 4th card for the grands

Cardstock, a die, a stamp and a stencil

with some inks of course.

It was fun to do.

I whacked all the nesting stars and glued

them together.

As I was doing that I remembered I had a

"firework" stencil that would be

a great background for the star.

Since the background was white, I used blue jeans

and fired brick (distress inks).

WELL,

I didn't wait until the ink was dry and I got purple.

I like purple. It's flashy,

Sissix die, TH sentiment unknown stencil.

 

Sort of a monochromatic page

I love sort of monochromatic pages. 

Especially with little pops of color.

Red happens to be my favorite but you would
never know it from my wardrobe.

The monochromatic can also rock the 

black and white photos.
And these naturally are precious.

Love the smiles on their faces and in their eyes.
Looks like everyone is looking forward to a road trip.

All Studio Calico, except for the circle-Authentique.
I need to practice my stamping a bit more.
And for added texture - I added some burlap and mesh.
