Red, White and Blue

Hello friends!  Only one more day till the weekend ... yeah!  Since it's Thursday that means we have a new challenge for you over on the Meljen's Designs Challenges and Inspiration Blog.  If you read the title of my post then you've probably already guessed our challenge is to use red, white & blue!

I used Meljen's Designs Ivy Wreath Heart.  I colored this lovely wreath with copics and colored pencils.  I added lots of Glamour Dust to the stars.  My papers are a mix of Basic Grey and My Mind's Eye.  I picked these up at my LSS and they're perfect for patriotic projects.  I used some brads and ribbon with a bow.  Is it just me or do brads seem to be the forgotten embellishment?  I have tons of them and I like them, but I never seem to remember to use them anymore.  That's OK, I'll hang onto mine and before you know it, they'll be the "hot" embellishment again lol!

Here's the latest Meljen's Designs release.  You can find these fabulous images over at Whimsy Stamps.  Please be sure to stop by the Meljen's Designs Challenges and Inspiration Blog to see the fabulous work by the rest of the DT.

Thank you so much for stopping by!
