Blessed is the Nation



SNEAK PEEK ALERT!!! Isn't this set awesome!!! It's called "In God We Trust", from Our Daily Bread Designs, and will be available on May 1st! Roxie's sketch challenge over at Splitcoast was absolutely perfect.....I LOVE when a plan comes together so beautifully!!!! Plus, Jeanne's Limited Supply Challenge was to choose a room in your house for inspiration. Our basement is the "Man Room", where there are deer on the wall and mantle....plus a patriotic theme. The photo below is a photo of one of the framed items there. (Sorry for the bad photo....tried to keep reflections out of it, especially me!!!) The striped dp is from Moxxie. I just happened to have some Creative Memories star dp in my stash.......what a perfect fit! There is nothing fancy here....simple stamping, sponging, and layering. The hardest part was all of the paper piercing! I decided not to over-embellish.....didn't want to take away from the powerful verse and image. This was mailed to my hubby's Uncle George in Tennesse.....I hope he likes it!!!

Paper: SU Night of Navy, Close to Cocoa, Whisper White, CM Stars, Moxxie red & white (name unknown)

  9. Wow! Great set, great card! I love how you crated the flag background especially. The understated eagle focal image is perfect against the bright, eye-catching flag background. Thanks for sharing this sneak peek!
