Card Cupid Red, White, and Blue Challenge

Card Cupids challenged us to use a color scheme of red, white, and blue.  This card turned out totally different than what I had envisioned at the beginning.  I really wanted something more elegant.  But that didn't happen!   Instead, she turned out a little more fun and playful.

I used a sketch from Papercraft Star.  This is the first time I've worked with a sketch and I found it challenging.  I'll have to do this again to become more comfortable with it.

The digital stamp is from Pink Cat Studio.  She is colored with Prismacolor pencils.

I took some white tissue paper, scrunched it up, and then spritzed it with my homemade glimmer mist.  I then adhered it to blue cardstock and then used a Martha Stewart border punch.  I really like how it turned out.  I also used it on the pocket. 


I didn't think I would ever use those tiny flower dies that came with my cuttlebug but that's exactly what I used to make the flowers for her hat.  I seem to be on a feather kick these days;  I stuck one in her hat and then used pop dots to adhere the hat.


There's Crystal stickles everywhere, even in her eye shadow!

The tag is embossed with a cuttlebug heart embossing folder and edged with metallic red outline stickers.  The fun red fibers are threaded through a heart eyelet.
