MOJO297 ~ I Love Freedom ~

Good morning!  Thanks for bearing with me as I get back in the routine of crafting!  As you read this, my hubby will be heading home from rehab after having a bilateral knee replacement.  OUCH!!!  I'm excited to get him home after almost two weeks of being away!  The first week was spent at his bedside.  He had a rough time with surgery and was pretty sick for a few days.  Thankfully, a great many prayers were answered and he is doing well.  Now, I just have to keep the big ole Saints from trying to  make a human pinball out of him...  :-) 

 

Today, I have a sketch inspired card using Our Daily Bread Designs' set, Some Gave All.

 

I used a bit of burlap behind the eagle for added texture.  The colors are really bright on this card.  I wanted to add more embellishments but was afraid of getting it too busy.  :-(

 

  I stamped and colored the eagle image on Copic compatible paper and then fussy cut it.  I added a bit of stickles to each individual star for interest.  The sentiment, embossed with a sand color EP, is on coordinating DP.  I used a paper edger punch to create the scallops behind the panel. 

 

Thanks for stopping by and your sweet comments!

Now... on to my project details...  I have two cards to share today using 3 of the new sets...

 

The first card (an easel card) uses Home of the Free for the scripture panel (shown below the eagle) and Some Gave All for the eagle image and sentiment shown on the bottom panel. 

 

 

Here's a better side view.  I stamped the eagle on coordinating DP and lightly colored the image with colored pencils.  The stars have just a dab of glitter glue to reflect light. 

 

 

Here are photos of the sets... 

 

 

 

 

I can't imagine how your heart wouldn't swell with pride when using these sets!  We are so very blessed to live in such a wonderful country! 

 

And if those aren't darling enough, there's this precious image, Precious Girl colored with Copics...

 

 

 

So what do you think?  I love them all!  ;-) 

With July 4th coming up and a bevy of baby showers and dedications, these gems will come in handy! 

From here, you will hop to the fabulous Kathy's Blog .
